I don't think I ever see anyone post about it. What is the typical TW measurement on a first gen Camaro?

Rob... I just checked the track width on my first gen Camaro and it measures 60-7/8" in the front, and 60-1/8' in the rear. The overall width of my tires are 10.35" in front and 10.91"in rear. I measured the track width from the center of the tread to center of tread.

This is great info here on wheel and tire sizing.

Dale that's interesting. So your outside to outside total tire width is about 71" front and rear?

Yes, that's exactly right... I just went out and measured from outside of tire to outside of tire, front and rear and they both measured 71"


rear overall width




front overall width



A little fuzzy... but at least I got the thumb out of the way

Robster -- so what you're saying is.... not only does the Torino have a big BUTT.... it also is bowlegged?!

Whew! i never thought i would see so many informative posts in a row in this thread!

I have so many noob questions, that i'm pretty lost but ill sit back and keep reading. Hopefully ill catch on. looks like i need to change my mind set, I too planned on throwing the biggest freaking tire on the back i could, and make do with what i could up front. I will be quite disappointed on the track if i do that, i see!

The tire/wheel info was way too much for this early in the morning but glad it is there to re-read. Thanks.

Well don't stay away so long next time.

Dale I was looking back at some older notes of mine and saw my track widths were different than I posted. I recalculated them and it seems my old notes were right with a 58" rear track.

Actually I'd say it's more like trying to plug the biggest tire I can on each end. It still makes me laugh calling a 285 a small tire.

I'm kinda partial to the wheels. Light, strong and the correct color.

I think they are going to look right @ home.. Nice choice!
