15x8.5 with 275/60’s. 3.25 or 3.75 on the wheels. Should be the same as norcams.

Front: 15X6 American Racing Torq Thrust Ds with Mickey Thompson Sportsman 26x7.50

Rear: 15x8 American Racing Torq Thrust Ds with Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro with 28x10.50

Stock wheel tubs 4.50" back spacing on rear wheels.

I think it's got "the look" but these definitely don't drive as good as radials on the street. They definitely hook better!

Timely thread as I am trying to decide what to do with my 67. I have a stock suspension that I do not wish to mess with. Love the look of bias ply tires, but these 14’s make the car drive like a truck compared to more modern cars! Going with 15 inch Cragars and maybe just do a set of Firestone F70-15 repop radials. Anyone know if the firestones are black wall on the inside?

Mark, we put 15" Firestones on my dad's Chevelle and they drive great! I think they are black wall on one side.
