Nah, Camaros came with 15" 125x70x15, I thought he told me his came from a Nissan Hardbody.

That car is bad ass! I too am running 16x6 Fuchs with 205/50r16 Goodyears on the front of my car with a 4 inch beam and CB drop spindles and disk brakes, and 16x7 inch Fuchs with 205/55r16 Goodyears on the rear mounted on redrilled drums. I am in the process of installing short axles on my '67 so the rear wheels will tuck under the rear fenders. When I am finished restoring my car, I hope it looks half as cool as yours. The alpine white with the polished Fuchs is a great combination.

I really like the 16"s and the tire sizes they have in 16 are bad ass.

Hi,
Airkewld does their own setups... those pics are customer's cars before they were finished.
They ended up going with a different wheels.
