I'm bumping up against an issue with ordering some Goodyear Bluestreaks for my GT car and I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with them on a factory steel flared car with stock 8x15's in the rear.
My current set up from the hub out is as follows: * 5mm under-rotor spacer for the GT calipers on a 911 rotor. * Stock 20mm rotor * Stock 8x15 * BFG 215/60/15 (these just came with the wheels but, with a 9.5" section width, they are very close to the flares.) Of Note: There is no engine or tranny in the car. I was looking a 6.00 x 15 for the rear and 5.50 x 15 for the front. The only problem I'm seeing is, the 6.00 x 15 is showing a 10.6" section width on an 8" wheel and it "really" doesn't look like my factory flares will accept this UNLESS I'll get some significant camber out of the arms when the engine and tranny are in. I spoke to Bruce Canepa today and he was kind enough to run out to the Luftwaffe (Lufthansa) car to report back that it is sitting on 6.00 x 15's all the way around! Stock rims and stock flares. In speaking with Jeff today I was almost ready to pull the trigger on four of the 5.50 x 15's with the 9.3" section width when I heard this. I'm sending my wheels off to Harvey and I wanted to have rubber waiting for them when they return. Has anyone ever run Bluestreaks on a GT body with stock wheels?
