69 Camaro - TCI sub frame wheel question

[cwmusser]

Does anyone out there have a 69 Camaro with a TCI front sub frame? I need to confirm what back spacing on the front wheels is working well for you.
I plan to run 18x9" wheels. Thank you!

Does anyone have a 1969 Camaro with a TCI front subframe? Anyone?? Need to know wheel back spacing! Thank you

I'm in putting one in a 68 and was told on Friday by TCI that 5.75 back spacing is what you want on either 9 or 9.5 wheel.
I'm pretty sure that the back spacing is the exact same for 67-69.

Thanks for the reply. I did the same thing but when I rigged up a tire fitment tool with just 5.5 BS the tire rubs the front sway bar. I need to call them again and ask if there's a way to set turn stops on their spindle somewhere. I can't imagine just turning hard until it rubs. I have a 69 and specs for 1st gen Camaros show the overall width of 67/68 at 72.5" and 69 at 74", so I should have a little more room under the fender.
