Default '68, how big wheels/tires can I go??

Ok guys, what size wheel/tire will fit on my 68? I'm looking for a tire to give me the look of the "Big Red" Camaro. Looking to go as wide as I can. Making a Road Race Replica on the line of "Big Red" just not as in depth. I'm putting a cage in it, but a simple 10pt and not chopping any of the car up, simply to be able to make it back to a streetable vintage car in the future.

Thanks
Shawn

Shawn, did you use the search option at all? This has been covered for years now...really. But to save you some time hear we go!

Front: 245 tire on a 8" wheel, I prefer 5" b.s.
Rear: 275 tire on a 9.5" wheel w/ 5.5" b.s. using disc brakes and a stock width axle.

It's up to you to decide what diam wheel you want.

Anthony is dead on. But if you want a "Big Red" look, your going to need a different set up and lots of mods
