Herb remember "The Street Monster" chevelle that use to be around all the shows. I think he ran a 12 inch wide rim with some giant pro trac tire on the front.



Yes, I do and always thought it looked good with the big meats all the way around. Cant say so much for the paint job though. Had a buddy with a 67 Chevelle 300 and had 15x8 black rally wheels on all 4 corners with 275/50/15 bfg`s and it looked great! It was just a straight 6 with 3 speed on the floor but it looked the part. My gtx currently runs 50 series tires on all 4 corners 305 in the rear and 265 up front and thinking of going with 325 in the rear and a 275 up front with the new combo. Unfortunately a lot of the old school combos that used to be run are not possible with todays current offerings. I have never put wide tires on a car that did not handle better than the smaller units they replaced.
