Default re HMSA Trans Am cars tire and wheel sizes

Getting back to Ty re Trans Am cars and tire and wheel sizes. Checked with Chad Raynal who owns the 69 Z/28 "Mid-Del Auto Parts". (Race 64).

"We're required to run no more than a 15" x 8" wheel on our cars. We happen to run 15" x 8" wheels front and back. 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,

Ty
