New member in need of assistance! I have a 68 Camaro project that Im looking to complete in the sort order and need Wheel & Tire help. The car has been mini tubbed and the rear end has been narrowed by 2" on each side. I know that I should have ordered the rims first and then measured , however, the car was already getting other metal fab work done so I decided to have the car tubbed and narrowed while in the shop. I would like the Pro-touring look with a 20x12 rim size. Im looking for BS numbers in order to get the deepest lip possible. I will also need BS number for the front aswell. Please help as Im ready to pull the trigger on the wheels. Any suggestions? <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig --><!-- END TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig -->

BForged and Forgeline web site both have Wheel & Suspension measuring guides sheets to fill out. It shows detailed drawings on where to take measurements needed to get the correct numbers to order your wheels. You need to measure your self. I have been told the same cars with the same suspension can have different measurements.

Do you already have wheels on the car? Those can be a good starting point since you can take a ruler and see how far you can go before hitting things.
Brake kits and suspensions can have an affect on these BS measurements so if you let us know what you have there, it'll be helpful too.
For custom wheels, you'll need to also specify caliper clearance, hub diameter and depth- on front and rear.
Let us know if we can help with the purchase... Were a dealer for a lot of companies.
