Wheels and Tires for 2nd Gen

What is the largest wheel tire combo that will fit these cars? What is stock wheel size? I'm thinking Craigers....but someone told me that they went out of buisness...just trying to find a good size combo for the '79 that my friend has.

Not sure about the largest, but I am running 15x8 wheels on the back with a 275 60 tire and have no rubbing issues what sio ever. Could probably get a wider tire, but not sure.

2nd gen wheeles/tires

I run a 295-65 BFG Drag Radial on Center Line Telstars 15x8 with a 4 1/2" b.s. The tire has over 10" of contact and is about 29 1/2" tall... Wheele lip roll and shock mount trimming is all that is needed... 1970 1/2 R.S. Z28

I guess nobody searches for answers before posting anymore, huh? :-) I must have answered this 3 or 4 times now...
