Re: [Chevelle-List] Retro tires.
Yea, your right Clint. But every time I see one "RAKED" I still think it looks so cl. Back in the '60's that was the thing to do. I can remember going to Hollywood Hot Rod shop to get the biggest risers that I could find to get that baby in the air, then cruising all the root beer stands with my buddies to show off. Crazy? Yes. Fun? You bet, and I have a lot of fond memories that keeps this 60 year old still skinning his knuckles on that '60 iron. It wasn't always just to fit bigger tires. I think mostly it was for the look. If it was raked you were hip. Dumb but hip. Hey, what's more important when your 17? Being smart or being cool. I remember my dad saying to me all the time "are you crazy" What have you done to your car? But dad, this is s cl. And the chicks dig it. Boy, what would we do if we didn't have memories of our youth. For me, it keeps me young.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Retro tires.
Thanks Rich, I am going after the correctness look. I don't care about traction with these tires, I have other wider tires for that. I wont be doing any slalom or road courses. My build sheet has option PM7 - F60x15 w/raise... (mouse damage to the rest of the line). I drive the car around a bit, but not on long trips too often. Because the car is a cool old muscle car, I think I will accept it for what it is (rougher ride maybe). Also, it has a Pete Jackson noisy cut cam drive and flow master mufflers if those don't drive me nuts I think I will be OK with the tires :-) I will let you know what I think in about a month, I have to get the stock rims restored yet.

my dad told me that all of his cars, he used to airshock the back up and put some L-60's in the back. said they were like 11 inches wide. They were cool, and I always wondered why nobody does that nowadays. they look neat, makes it look muscular. my dad said that the front tires used to wear off quicker than the back, but since he did burnouts every once in a while, the back tires used to match up with the front, lol. bye.
