What size tires are you guys using? I tried a 255/60/15 on the back and I get a little rubbing. My tires are bad so it's time to go to 15s. Any fit problems with factory calipers?


67 Firebird 400. 30k orig miles, 4 speed, ps, pb, pw,
front disc brakes with dual piston calipers, ac, hood tach, triple black.

I shouldn't have listed the rear tires. I have a Camaro rear in mine, it's an inch narrower than the BOP so I've a bit more room for rubber.
