These are a 27.30 height which is a little taller than the original E70/15 Goodyear Wide Treads (26.73 height) chosen for the Z/28, but they have a narrower tread width at 4.45 vs 6.63 so they work well on a standard height car.

Your car with a lowered stance may become an issue for this tire and wheel setup. If you're looking for a day 2 look, you might want to ditch the lowered springs and raise the car up to where it will achieve the right stance / look.

Good luck with everything.

Default 5/8 spacer

I have to use a 5/8 spacer for the Cragar Skinny’s I have. The car has disc brakes and the wheel won’t clear the caliper without the spacer.
That little bit of outboard width with will make a difference in required tire height if your not careful. If a car sets just a bit high it shouldn’t bother you concerning rub.

Everything is still factory original with the suspension. I got it with 80,000 miles on it, still has original ball joints with the rivets. No issues there, just low.
