what size front tires on 67 Firebird?
How big of a front tire can I run on my 67 Firebird? Have all "stock" suspension on it. Nothing moved or enhanced... Want the biggest I can get without rubbing.
Thanks in advance! Ken |

Ken ,That would depend on the offset of the rim.

Good point, thanks Mark.
They are 15x4 draglites, but I will have to measure tomorrow. Not sure if there is more than one offset on that size or not. |

i dont know if your trying to obtain more rollout for r/t, taller ride height, or just the look of having a filled-out fenderwell but i dont believe they make anything bigger than a 29" in which case theres not going to be much difference from the 28" that you have now. if anything, borrow a set of 29's if you can just to stick on and see how much room you have
