View Full Version : 18x9.5 Front With 18x11 Rear On A 68 Camaro

So I've got my eye on a set one wheels but without my car having full suspension I'm trying to figure out if it's even on option.

So far I have DSE mini tubs plus the Quadralink locked down for the rear but not the front - for the front i'm planning at minimum aftermarket arms and spindles at max a full sub which I i'm 99% sure it'll fit on.


The rim sizes are 18x9.5 on the front with a +22mm offset calculating it out that comes to a 6.116 backspacing. (that's taking into account +1 inch of stated size vs actual size) the back 18x11 +25mm (bs 6.98) offset.

Does anyone know what rear axle size will be needed for the rear wheels and if a aftermarket subframe is mandatory or will spindles and arms suffice (speedtech).

Thanks for anyone's help

Not sure Im running stock front and rear. 9.5 on the front will be tough but Im sure a few others are running that. Do a quick search on the forum for 9.5.

What wheels are you looking at, that is roughly the same offset I was thinking of for my stock suspension 68

the 9.5 will fit with the tru-turn and you can still use the speedtech arms you want, the key to the wider wheel is the steering arm, the factory steering arm is to long, you can fit the wide wheel with the short Z-28 arms but you will still have some bump steer(need to relocate the upper arm to fix it some), or the tru-turn kit it has short arms and very little bump steer,
I have done both.....
