Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / November 20041969 max rear wheel/tire size
My buddy that has the '69 427 4 speed ragtop is wanting to buy a set of the original Crager S/S wheels. What is the biggest wheel/tire combo he can fit on the rear? With the original emergency brake cable mount? And with relocating the emergency brake cable mount? Will 10x15's fit back there?? He agrees with me that for his "period aftermarket look" their absolutely shouldn't be the same size tires front to back. And please, what backspacing and bolt pattern (4.5 or 4.75??) LOL If the tire stuck out just a tad that wouldn't be a problem. Any tire size/brand combos you guys suggest I look into? Don't want the Dub look LOLOLOL I can look this up myself, but someone might have a combo they have already used. This is a beautiful original BB 4 speed ragtop. Every original part (exp hoses, plugs, wires).  SignatureRic Seyler > My buddy that has the '69 427 4 speed ragtop is wanting to buy > a set of the original Crager S/S wheels.

Not sure that's right, if they stick out a little and you fill up the tank and add two fat Americans it's a problem. > Any tire size/brand combos you guys suggest I look into?

And He's not gonna want to put anything on it to keep the rear up off the fender lips. I was thinking off the top of my head that the fender lips were high enough not to rub. I remember in one of the VETTE type mags they listed the biggest tire/wheel combo for original embrake location and then for altered embrake tab location, just can't remember what it was..
