Hello Rod,

We have Camaro Z-28 alloy wheels (also Monte Carlo SS) on our 1965 Corsa 
coupe with 205/60R15 Pirelli P-6000's mounted.  The wheels are 15 X 7 and 
have a 4-1/4" backspacing.  After 20k miles of driving and at least a dozen 
autocrosses there has been no rubbing on the stock wheel wells.  The 
odometer/speedometer with this tire has <2% error.
