Fitting Foose 18 x 8.5 on 67 Camaro
Hi everyone, been trying to search & havn't been able to figure it out. I just picked up a 67 with a 2" drop in front & 1" in back. A buddy of mine says he saw a set of foose rims 18x8.5 for sale. Backspace is +35 & Tires are 235/40. I believe they were from a 3 series. Trying to figure out if they will work & if not maybe an adapter & also would I have to worry about hubcentric? They are such a good deal that I don't want to pass them up if I can somehow make them work.
I appreciate any assistence offered

How is the front dropped
spindle or coil?????
The 8.5 would be alright on the front I would personally go with a wider set out back!KENNY DAVIS HOTRODS

Drop spindle in the front. Does having 8.5" all the way around look funny? If I was buying new I would have ordered larger for the back, but since they are used, stuck with what they are.

No 6in bs in the front will not fit in the front with a drop spindle!
must be no more than 4.5 bs.......
I'm sure one of our camaro guys will chime in here on the bs but every drop spindle I have ever dealt with wouldn't take any more than a 4.5in bs!KENNY DAVIS HOTRODS
