I have reproduction Corvette style rally's on my '67 Camaro. 15x6 front, 15x7 rear, with 215/65 front, 255/60 rear. They fit and fill the wheel opening nicely. The rears will rub the inside on a steep upgrade into a driveway, if I go in an an angle. Straight on and no issue.

If he is going black wall out, there are many tires with better traction ability than T/A's. I wish Rusted Tires had a better website with pics of the reproduction radials now available. I, and buddies, have had handling and traction issues with the T/A's and don't buy them, but that's just my experience.


I was able to attach a couple pics directly from the hard drive. Not sure why the back appears so high. I was moving it around with a floor jack and it maybe hadn't settled yet ?

Default Tires

255s will be great in the rear with an 8" rim with 4" backspace. That 205 60 15 is a very short tire in the BFG line. I put 215 65 15s in the front and liked them. White letter is preference. Cragars I might put them in but on Rallys keep them out.

No, these tires were on the wheels when I bought them. Some off brand that is actually a very decent tire. I'll have to go look at them to get the brand. My memory gets shorter every year.
