Tires and Rim sizes are you Guy's running with the Camaro Clip on 55 56 57 Chevy P/U
Hey Guy's tiring to figure out what sizes of tires I can use that will fit my 56 Chevy P/U Truck, with the 1980's Camaro front clip change.
The rear end is a 10 bolt from a 80's Camaro at 62.50"in width. Also it would help if I knew your rear suspension setup, as I'm using a 4 link Triangulated with Coil Over Shocks. I would like to know if your setup is tubed or not. Thanks for the Help Guy's. Reg. Cobra427sc. |

Very nice truck! I'm in a neverending argument with myself over ifs or a dropped axle, Posie's Super Sliders, rebuilt kingpins, etc. yeah, I know I'd have nearly as much $$ tied up if I go that way and it won't ride as well but I kinda like the idea of improved originality. Kinda like the street rid guys do with 30's Fords.
Anyway, is your truck a static drop or bagged? Any rubbing issues on turns, entering driveways! Personally, I'm waay over the entering diagonally phase of my life. I want it lower without that BS.
