Re: '59 Apache Camaro IFS project

Looks good. What size tires and what wheel backspace do you have? Trying to decide what to buy. Love the look of the wheels.

Hammerdog, sorry I didn't respond to your question before. I just noticed it for the first time.
Actually went with 245/60-15's front and rear. Although the front wheels are 6" with 3 3/4" backspacing and the rears are 8'' with 4-1/4'' backspacing. They are the Cragar 313 Chrome Smoothies. I would have liked something both a little narrower and shorter in the front myself, but this truck is a collaborative effort with my dad. He wanted the same size wheels and tires on all four corners for the sake of being able to rotate them. We'll probably pick up a couple more of the 6" wheels and run them front and back. If it were solely my truck, it would be tubbed and sitting a tad lower on air bags. Not only that but, it would have the 454/TH400 that is sitting in my garage. Gotta keep the old man happy though.
