69 camaro old school wheels and tires question

[Rockwind1]

I’ve had my Camaro for about 23 years, probably pushing 700 hp to the rear wheels, it’s a little ridiculous and overkill but back when I built it, that was the thing. I am thinking about Toning down and making it a little bit more pro touring-ish. I always thought you needed 15 inch wheels so you had plenty a side wall in order to hook up, I’m curious,,,,guys with the 19 inch low profile tires. Do they hook up as well as smaller rimmed tires? I know I’m definitely not gonna go with 19 inch wheels and probably not 18 inch wheels, I’m thinking of a happy medium of 17 inch wheels, but even with 17 inch wheels I’m worried about the tires hooking up. I’ve only messed around one Camaro and I’m sure there are guys on here who have been through this, will there be a big difference With traction from 17 inch rims versus 15 inch rims. I’ve always had 295’s in the rear and 225s upfront. Would anybody have any suggestions For a 17 inch wheel and tire combo? Thanks very much. Also I don’t race, I just want to drive around and listen to the radio maybe talk on my phone and enjoy the ride



Another concern is cost, this Camaro is black hole financially, and I probably just wanna buy some medium priced tires for it and rims
