Default 19's on 68's pics anyone?

I'm running 17x13 tillers on my rears w/335x35x17's and have been contemplating 19's to fill wheel well space. Anyone with 68's running 19's and have side pics? Would sure help my decision making to have afew visuals.
Thanks

Hey Lenie check with JayR- he can help you with the right look > he is really a good source on tire sizes also. I talked with him on my '68 Camaro and he rec. 18' front 19" rear to fill things up. I know you could peddle those 17" pretty quick on this site... -Chris

Lenie, a 345/30/19 is an inch taller than what you have right now. It's 27.2" so the side wall will be approx. a 1/2" closer to the fender well opening...but it will also raise the car a half inch as well...a taller tire is a taller tire.

How much are you looking for?

Nice to see the brakes in proportion to the wheels! Where are you guys at and who did all the fab work? I'm just over in Hillsboro!!

Anthony, thanks for the dimensions in inches, puts things in perspective. Thanks for all the pictures, most enjoyable, that red 67 camaro is sweet. Gresham and Hillsboro are familiar territory, I'm originally from Beaverton/Portland as a kid. I'm not really wanting to go bigger than a 19" but was hoping it would fill more than an inch. I don't believe I can squeeze in 345's, wish michelin would have made a 335/35/19. Oh well, I'll figure it out as we all do throughout our projects. Thanks again.

Default Tire sizes off of a C6 Z06

is 325/35/19. I am sure the after market will come out with others as well. Most of the guys tracking those cars are running 18's all the way around.

My 69 is running a 18 on the front and 19 in the rear and I am digging the look.
