I just got a set of centerlines from a person and I really am not going to want to keep them if they are not going to fit.They are supposed to be going on my 65 elky. The rims actually measure 9.7 wide and they have a backspace of 5.0 ". I wanted to ask the pro's out there. If they are going to fit, what tires do I need.I do not want to cut any body work to stuff them in. Thanks for the help.patrick

I dont know if you can fit a 15 x 10 on a 65? I know that from 67 and up the wheel wells are larger but like I said I dont know.

On a 67 I know people running a 28inch tire with no problems, if that helps?

Good luck
Don

If the inner fender on a camino is like the rest of the 65's you will be hard pressed to get more than a 10.5 sec tire under the fender. I have to unbolt my shocks to get a 275x60x15 ON A 3 3/4 backspace wheel under mine. My rearend is narrowed 1 1/2 inches.
It's still tight. Come to CB02 and see it.
