2nd Generation Camaro Wheel & Tires Fitment Chart

Jan Neumann — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:56:53 GMT

For those who are interested in buying new wheels and tires for his 2nd generation F-Body (Camaro & Firebird) sweetheart, Steve from Nasty Z28 forum prepared a nice and clear spreadsheet with combinations that fit. Potential issues with fitment such as interference, rolled lip, suspension mods, spacers, etc. are listed in the last column. The wheel and tire combinations listed are intended as a guide for 70-81 Camaros or Firebirds. They are as stated from other camaro owners. There is no guarantee for fitting. Measuring for fit is the sole responsibility of the person purchasing and installing these combinations.
