Vette Registry | Wheel Well Liner Adjustment on a 1972 Coupe - Page 2 - Forums

Hello everybody, l had the 225/70/15 tires installed today and there are no rubbing issues, go figure. The old tires were Eagle GT II, maybe they were slightly out of round. Thank you everyone I am glad they fit they look nice. The ride height is 28.75" in the rear and 27" in the front. I had the front end checked out and they said every thing was good. I bought the 8" bolts for the rear, but the spring place thought it was fine with my size tires and the 32 pounds of pressure I run. Thanks.

I'm running 235/60 Radial TA's on my '72 and like others who have posted you a reply my frame bolts are nice and shiny from the few times they have been "polished" by the tires. I try not to do full lock turns and as I like the ride height I'm not about to change tires..

What wheels are you running? If not stock or stock offset, then not much you can do to fix. I'm running 255/60-15s w/ no rubbing.
