Do you have any other pics of the camino wheel combo?

Was this car featured in a magazine sometime in the 90s. PHR maybe Carcraft.

Thank you Brad and John! Happy New year everyone. I was out for awhile, but Justin has been holding down the fort, and answering questions.

Yes, we know how to fit the larger, wider, better fitting wheels on these large A-bodies. With the right direction, and advice, you can fit a 9-9.5" wheel up front, and a 10-11" rear out back (based on wheel brand and diameter) with the most popular sets being 18x9s and 18x10s or 19x8s and 20x10s with a 305 wide rear tire! Call anytime for help. Bonspeed wheels look excellent on that Elky! 866-694-5940

Yes, the El Camino was featured on the cover of Car Craft in 1995, it was the new breed of usable muscle cars with disc brakes and handling, called pro-touring lol!

I have some other pics if I can find them I'll post em.

Brad, what size tires and backspacing?

The wheel tire combo is:
18x8 with 4.5 backspace
245/40/18 BFG KD

18x10 with 6" backspace

I knew it! I had that copy of CC and fell inlove with the overall look of the car. Was a killer concept for the pro street infested early 90s

[ProdigyCustoms]

Not a 70-72, but one of my favorites. 245/45/18 and 285/40/18 On Forgeline SO3 18 X 8 and 18 X 10.5.

Perfect fit in my opinion.
