You actually "spin" your cars rear tires? Run it in organized speed trials? My goodness, isn't that abusive to the drivetrain? Don't you risk possible damage to 40+ year old mechanicals? I shudder........

Hey, I've got an idea... why don't you post up some good shots of your 1969 A-body with the specs from your wheel & tire combo. Perhaps everyone with a '69 A-body, or even a '68 , could post up some good pics of their wheel and tire combo so we could all share in the knowledge of what fits and what looks good.

That damn turpitude thing gets me every time.
My rear 255/60-15 Radial T/A's on 8" Cragar's actually do spin freely on the tarmac when the gas engine is fed enough petroleum distillates. Fronts are 245/60-14's on 14" X 7" Cragar's Rears are 255/60-15's on 15" X 8" Cragar's Quote:
