Just installed my Rival S tires!
This 68 Camaro utilizes custom cut Budnik Tiller 5's, custom cut centers for caliper clearance. 8" by 17" on front, 12.5" by 18" on rears.
Front calipers are Baer/Alcon 6 piston staggered bore monoblocks bought through DSE in 2006, and they grab 13.5" rotors.
Rear calipers are Baer SS4+ calipers running on 13" rotors.
Funny thing, I built this car entirely with ARP 6 point wide flange stainless hardware. Look at the pic of the front tires and you may notice that all the bolts have heads shaved for clearance. Took me a day to cut, buff, and polish heads to make them look just right. Did it for extra tire clearance.
By the way, I replaced Michelin Pilot Sport tires with the Rival S tires, only to discover the EXACT same tire numerical size is wider in the Rival S as compared to the old Michelin's. 7/16" wider in back, 15/16" wider in front.
Note we don't have valve stems, using low jacks on back side of wheels to keep wheels clean.
We live in central Missouri and am doing a "cruise against cancer" this Friday. Hope to do some spirited driving on my new Rival's!
