      here is an update. If anyone is still updating the wheel database.

      1965 ford falcon. 16x7.5 with 4" backspace on all four corners. this is with a 245/50/16 tire. i think a 4.0625 or 4.125 BS in the back would fit a little better. but it just clears everything right now.



      suspension: the back is stock leaf springs lowered 2" and the front is my own design double a-arm with coilovers. but no body-mods and this setup allows for a little more BS and width on the front because of the increase in upper ball joint clearance.

      1972 Camaro

      Front:
      Boyd Coddington Rebels 17x8
      6.0bs for the corvette Z51 Brakes and spacer
      245/45/17
      has Global West upper and lover control arms and Hotckis Swaybar.

      Rear:
      Boyd Coddington Rebels 17x11
      5.5bs on a centered Moser 12 bolt(so no difference from side to side)
      315/35/17
      has Hotchkis Leafs, Herb Adams Mod and Hotchkis Sway Bar with the wheel well lip and seat belt hump messaged for clearance

      No Rubbing issues at full lock, I could have actually gone with a 275/40/17 up front on a 17x9 Im pretty sure..

      Wheel and Tire fitment solution

      If you want the biggest, baddest tire and wheel combination possible, you need to get a Tire MountMate tool from WheelWorks, Inc. The tool allows you to determine the correct offset needed to make the tires fit without rubbing. And you don't even need a wheel to fit the tire. Check out www.wheelworksinc.com and click on Products.

      I would have to agree -- this is definitely the best tool I have in my arsenal of tools.

      You only get one shot when your doing custom wheels and this will make your life so much easier.

      You actually get to see what the tire looks like on the car. Turn the front wheel and check for clearance issues and run the suspension up and down.

      Trust me you need one of these when you doing custom wheels.

      This database is a good start. It would be nice to put pics with each input. What someone says fits may be a function of perception? Plus, there has to be more "A" bodies on here right.... and where are all the Buicks at? Take the time boys, fill in the blanks.

      I've got a 69 Camaro without tubs and mostly stock front end. I'm running fronts.... 245-40-18x8 15mm offset and the Rears are 275-35-19x9.5 w/ 15mm offset. There's no rubbing, but it's a close fit. Photo to come.

      Update on my 64 impala wheels. I bought 18x8 and 20x9 mb old school wheels. 4.5 backspacing on all wheels fits great. 275/35/20 rear. Waiting to see what tires will work for the front. It seems 245/40/18 will work.
