70 - 73 Camaro pics for a newbie....

[SS1156]

17 x 8, 245/45 front; 17 x 9, 275/40 rear

Needs to be this high- I live on a dirt road in MI

The Minilites look good on your car. I remember those wheels on a pair of Hugger Camaros here in FL. 2 brothers each had a Hugger Camaro. One had an orange one and the other brother had a white one. I liked them except for the front bumper covers.

Any more 2nd Gens? Thanks for all the pics so far. All of these cars are sick as hell.

i'll post up a few over here

I have a second Gen with a 12 bolt from a Formula 400 bird. When I changed from my stock axle with 10x17 6" bs with Goodyear 275 F1's to the 12 bolt the wheels looked lost, almost stock. I now run 17 x 11 with 315 Kuhmo's and MT Drag radials. They look just rightl. They are flush with the outer lip and depending on the shape of the tyre side wall could actually sit under the arch.

Sweet!!! What kind of wheels? That is my 2nd choice of color for my car. I really like grey. I want to try to go a little wider then 9's on the back. I'm thinking 11's with 315's. I still have to wait for my buddy @ TSRRacing to help me get started. Keep the pics coming everyone. You all have given me great ideas and I really love all the cars that I have seen so far. You guys should be proud of all your cars because they look great.

Vintage Wheelworks V-45's with 2 prong fake knock offs I found locally and a buddy of mine who is a machinist made the stanchions for them so we could draw them as close to the wheel center as possible.

Marc, your car is my ideal 2nd Generation Camaro. Your car gives me inspiration.

[Procharmo]

SS1156 Unfortunately this is not a 70-73 but does have the same wheel wells and the 17x8 235/40 17 x11 315/35 set up you desire.

The fronts are tucked with a lot of camber.

The rears are level with the wheel lip. Its could come down some in the rear. Currently on stock springs rear and cut Hotchkis front.


MusclecarJohn love that laser straight super clean body.

Teddy'sCamaro your stance is spot on.

Just make sure to get your backspace measurements perfect before ordering your wheels

Yeah no problem, I'll check tomorrow. What for?

I'm looking at a similar tire combo on my 2nd gen project and I really like the ride height on your car.

I'm looking at a similar tire combo on my 2nd gen project and I really like the ride height on your car.

I just checked now. At the pinch weld, the back is 6 1/4", the front is 5"
My subframe is 4". The lowest thing is the headers and exhaust, it clears speed bumps but I need to be crawling.
I have the DSE 3" drop leafs in the back and QA1 adjustable coil-overs in the front. Tried the hotchkis first but it dropped the car only a 1/2". Caused me a lot of headaches trying to make them work. I would never go the coil spring route again after using QA1s

[72OBSESSED]

Here's a better picture.
It sits a bit higher in the back than the front, it's just in a low spot in my driveway.

Sorry first gen guys but the 2nd gen camaros to me are the best looking camaro ever. I got to finish my chevelle first but my next car will definetly be a 2nd gen

[syborg tt]

Thank you very much. Your information is going to help big time.

My goal is to get the car to a dead even 5.5" ride height all the way around. So it looks like i am going to have to raise the floor up to attain the ride height i am looking for.

Fun Fun Fun

Very nice indeed!!!! Did you mini tub your car?

Very nice indeed!!!! Did you mini tub your car?

Nope no mini-tub. I thought about it, but the price of the kit, the narrowed tank, the wheels and the tires made my decision for me! The car hooks up great with the setup now. Maybe I'll go that route on a future project
