What does everyone think about 225/55R-16 tires all the way around on a 68? Will they work? Rub?

I ran the numbers myself, the VIN shows it to be a 6 cyl. car. So that alone rules out the RS.
The cowl tag don't belong to the car, it shows 12437, and a Ermine White exterior, and Teal Blue Interior. What thru me was the built code which is 10E , was there a fifth week in Oct. 68, or 67 when the car was built???  Anyway def. by no means a RS, but still a sweet lookin' ride.
Thanks guys

My brother in law is going to aquire his late Uncle's 1968 Camaro.  He will be bringing it home next weekend. When he went to see it back during Christmas time, he was able to drive it. The question is, it is badged with RS emblems, has an RS steering wheel center cap, but it has z28 stripes, a standard grille with RS badge, no back up lights in rear valance, and it has a 350 in it.  Now, his Uncle was supposedly the 2nd owner, and my brother in law hasn't asked his aunt if his Uncle had done any work to it, or was this how he recieved it. But I just wanted to ask an expert, if it could still be an RS car?
I will have numbers pretty soon to run.
Thank you

Make that one yellow wire(one w/flat connecter), and the orange wire, which I was told for the lighter, does it plug it in the back like I described above on the stem sticking out the center of the lighters cylinder?

On the back of the lighter, how many wires plug into the back, there  was two yellow wires , both with black end caps, one round, one like a flat connecter, both were unhooked before I had this problem, I hooked the rounded one to the stem that sticks directly out the back of the lighter, then the flat one to a flat prong that is directly below and connected to the back of the lighter. Is this right? At one point I did have the lighter working.
Also something that just happened, last night I had the underdash light working, and going off when I shut the door, now it just stays on. Someone before me had rigged it just to plug in under one of the fuses, which was working last night like I said , and now it's not. I will check the back of the fuse block.
With a volt/ohm meter, how many volts should that be?? 12?

And the clock, lighter : when I put a fuse in it , it blows out instantly, any suggestions?

Thanks JohnZ, are new fuse blocks available for purchase? And if so does the large bunch of wires that come into it, plug in?

Would anyone have a picture, or take a picture of their 68' fuse block, some of the descriptions and what size fuses are very hard to read on mine.
I am hooking up an aftermarket radio, and I have blown 2 fuses, seperate ones, radio, and lighter, I believe. Any idea why they would blow? I have disconnected the neg. terminal on battery before hooking anything up. I had used a test light to check what was constant hot, and ign. hot.

In the center of the fuse block, there is 3 or 4 prongs where you can plug a quick connect to, if I read correctly , one was Batt. , another was acc., but when I checked them, with and without key on neither were hot, shouldn't the battery one be hot constantly, and the acc. one be hot with ign. to on? I wanted to use the quick connects in those two places, but didn't get any power. So where would you hook your always hot wire, and the one for ign.? I do have the old style buss fuse block.

I know the easy way would go with Painless wireing, but cannot afford that at this time.

Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated..

Are you saying, that if it is a true RS it would have hidden headlight grille. A friend of mine's aunt has a 68 camaro that is badged RS, it has the cowl hood, and a 350, it has z28 striping, it has the silver standard grille. I have never seen a RS car without the RS grille, is why I ask, to me it looks like a z, minus the 302.

Was the 68 RS available without the hidden headlight grill?

With the recent news about GM going to eventually lay off 30,000 people, do you still think the camaro will make an appearance in the near future??
