Tires for a '69 Z28
 

Want to put some new rubber on the '69 Z28.
I was told to get 255/60/15's for the back but they're on back order for 2 months.
Because waiting is never an option, I was wondering which is better for the car

(fit and performance wise)

a) 245/60/15
b) 255/70/15

Thanks in advance.

Dan..The 255-70 is a BIG tire. I tried a set on the Nova. Too big. You may want to search the tire forum at Team Camaro.

BFG Radial T/As

I have a friend with '69 Z28 and he has 255/70/15 (rears), and 215/60/15 (front). No rubbing issues and the car looks great. I just do not think the 70 series tires will fit in the back.

The Wide Treads are going into storage.

Edit the post above.

My friend's '69Z has 215/70s in the front and 255/60s in the back.

Thanks for the reply Darren, no rubbing issues right?

Dan perfect fit. If you want pictures let me know. Don't have any right now (out of town).

Here are some tire pics from a couple of my Z/28s with radial tires.

The red car has 215/65/15 on the front and 245/60/15 on the rear. The rear is a 15 x 8" wheel.

The blue car has 235/60/15 on both front and rear. Personally I like the set and stance of the blue car better. In fact, I am currently shoppping for tires for the red car that I can mount on 15 x 7" Torque Thrust-D's...I am leaning toward 235/60/15 on the front and 245/60/15 on the rear. Suggestions?
