I would like to run the biggest tire I can. If I remember correctly the car has 285 60 drag radials on a 8" wheel. I was thinking that a 14" wheel will made the tire look bigger b/c of the increase in sidewall. Just a thought.

Might want to start a new thread about Cragar SS wheels on a 69 Camaro. One of the most popular 8" wide Cragar SS wheels that is Camaro friendly has a 4.5" backspace.

I would only consider L60's these days, but I'm not sure what other people have done to fit that size or other radial sized on a 69 Camaro.

Things get more complicated if you want the original Cragars from back-in-the-day. Easier if you would accpet the modern offering, as they will build custom offsets. You will have to accept the different spoke shape, unilugs or modern acorn lug pockets and a center cap with dark blue and a little "R" for registered trade mark. Not as cool as the old ones, but if a big radial tire fitment is #1 priority then this is hardley a compromise.

I don't want to run the drag radials anymore. I am thinking of M&H Racemasters or the L60s. I want a bias ply tire.

That'll look killer!

Two different looks form the SCR last year. The DH car here has a more conservative look, but I think I may prefer it.

I run 15X7 Cragars on the back with vinatge L60 Goodyears. I use a 1/2" spacer with 4" backspacing on the rims. I have run the L60 Mickey's with the 8" Cragars also with no tire problems. I have an older pair of Gabriel HJ's just to elevate the car in the rear some. I also run an NOS set of 25 year anniversary caps for the Cragars. They are nice.
