The tires we're required to run are Goodyear Sports Car Specials, 6.00-15 on the front and 7.00-15 on the rear. The 6.00-15 tire has approx 8" of tread on the ground, where the 7.00-15 tires has approx 9.
Most all of the Historic Trans-Am cars run this same combo. Only the early Mustang notchbacks tend to run anything different. Their rear wheelwells/quarterpanels often require them to run no more than a 7" rear rim and 6.00-15 tire. Thus, they often run 15" x 7" rims front and back, along with 6.00-15 tires all around. "
I'm attaching a picture of Chad at Wine Country 07 also.

Mike:
Those are really great shots. I would of sworn that they have larger wheel diameters of at least a lot taller tire in the rear. Where do People get those special head light covers? They also look Bad Ass,
Take care and thanks again,
