Doug , might be worth putting 15in tire wanted ads on some 1967 Corvette and 67 Impala sites

Maybe someone there has one


The 67 Yenko Camaro tire size is a bit of a mystery.

there is evidence of 14 and 15 as original for the car and 14 and 15 are listed in the 1967 paperwork

We know some of the 67 Yenko Camaros have the special order dash trim tag which may have been for the 15 wheel/tire but its hard to prove out


In the original photos its hard to tell if they are 14 or 15
they look like 15 when compared with 1967 Corvette wheels but hard to say?

Hi Joe. I have seen that photo before. Looks like 15” Thanks for the advice. I will reach out and look on some of those sites. The original spare tire was in the trunk and I have it listed on the Yenko paperwork.

Frank has started massaging the body ( LOL). He is on 1200 grit ...working his way to 2000 grit.
