question about redline tire sizes for a 67

[Delph]

I had a thought the other day. Is there a larger tire for a red line? does anyone make a 235 or 245 series type red line?

I would love to have a 15x7 on the front with 225 series tires and a 235-245 series with a 15x8 on the rear with a redline. That would be perfect for my 67 running the stock ralley style rims. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I have the 17's without redlines now it looks cool but I think it could look really cool with the 15's and redlines...if they are large enough.

You should try diamondback - I think they'll put a redline on just about anything. Plus, they already offer some higher performance sizes.

thanks allcoupedup. I just found out in another group the same info. I had no idea that they made these things this large. This is awesome.

has anyone done this with lager than 215's? I would love to see some pictures of someones car that has done this. It doesnt have to be a C2.

You will have to check if 8" rims will fit on the back. They might have to be custom made and still you will need the offset trailing arms. I have the offsets and the regular 8" rallyes will not fit. I am going to try 5 1/2 " backspacing and perhaps then, if not I will go with 7 " as they fit. Good luck.

Thanks guys, yes, about 80 percent of our customers run 215/70R15's on their C2's. 17's will look awesome. We have done several sets or 17's for C2's with tubular chasis and LT1's with redlines but don't have any pics for you guys. If you have any questions, let me know. Ron
