Can anyone guess the wheel and tire size of this car? I like the look. Looks like 15's. Who knows...maybe the new or prior owner is here on TC! Thanks in advance.

My guess is 15 x 10 rear and 15x8 front.

Survey Says!?

I would also say 8/10 x 15.

As for tire size, maybe 245-60-15 on the front, 275-60-15 on the back.

That is a nice look http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

I would say 15x8 all the way around. Looks like a slightly taller tire on the rear than front.

Maybe I have the winning answer. Hey that's my car!!!! Just kidding, but it's close. Look at the link below.

The max you can fit on the car without scraping is 15x8 with a 4.5 inch offset on the back and 15x7 with a 4 inch offset on the front. That's what I have.... and no you can't buy it (ha ha).

Chuck,

I didn't think the 15x10's would fit without major scraping or tubs.

Nice ride you have there! What size tires do you have?

Chuck;

Can you post a bigger picture of that great looking exhaust system?

Or just attach it to an email to us.

Thanks.
