18s front and 19s rear for second gen camaro?

[71maroesteban]

Will the wheel size look okay with the body lines or are 19s in the rear to big? Also would 19x12 clear with dse mini tubs and the ride tech 4 link in the rear?

I pondered that same setup for my 2nd gen for over 6 mos. and finally pulled the trigger on a set of Forgelines and could not be happier.IMO the 19" wheels fill the rear wheel wells perfectly. Although I have mini tubs, I'm not sure about the ride tech clearance.

And I've heard the ride tech 4 link accommodates the mini tubs as it offsets the mount points

Can you post a pic please? Also, how does it ride/drive? I've read somewhere that this can possibly cause the front wheels to 'plow' taking corners.

That's what I have on my car and really like it.

I would try to stretch the DSE tubs as much as possible when you install them. Mine are tight with a 325/30/19. With my Speedtech TA the axle has to sit farther back than I prefer and it does cause it to get very close to the lower part of the well at the rear due to the height of the tire.

Other option is to invert the flare on the Qtr panel for more space.

As far as the car plowing, this is completely dependent on the overall suspension setup and the stagger between front and rear tires. I have 275's up front and am still working on the tune (and new engine build now) but overall I think my plow reduced from the stock leaf style suspension with a 275/245 setup

I wish I could comment on the plowing but I'm still in the middle of building mine. I went outside the norm and went with front subframe and rear frame rails from Chris Alston. Although with the LSX twin turbo set-up I'm running, I don't think I will notice the tires plowing in the corners:jump:100525100526100524

sgernon...Nice car!!!

[sgernon]

Thanks. You car looks killer, especially the engine bay. VERY nice. That should be lots of fun

Love those 2nd generation Camaros! These are mean looking cars, fellas. Conceptually, I like natural aspiration, but that twin turbo setup looks really slick. I love the use of the RS fog lamp holes.

Looks Great!
