2nd Gen wheel fitment

[70PTRS]

I'm in the process of selecting wheels for my 70 RS LS/T56M Camaro. Probably going with Forgeline SO3P 18's. I'd like to get a few opinions on what backspacing I should use for my current suspension setup. It's a stock front frame with PTFB uppers and springs (can't remember if they are GT or Comp) , stock lowers and Viking shocks, and Kore3 355mm big brake C6 Z06 rotors and calipers. Out back I'm using the stock length 10 bolt with 4th gen Fbody rotors and calipers, and will be installing a full DSE mini tub assembly. I'm thinking about going 18 x 9 in the front and 18 x 12 in the back. Anybody else have a similar setup that can share what they're using? Thanks in advance...

86 views and not a single opinion? Was hoping for a little advice. After corresponding with Forgeline and having them propose a 8.5 BS I've decided that's not going to leave enough of a rear lip, I want a deeper dish look. So I'm going to narrow the 10 bolt rear 4.5" total and go with 5.5 BS. The overall length of the stock 10 bolt is 60.875 mounting face to mounting face.
Is anyone using the front brake setup I mention in my first post? If so what are your front rim specs? I won't be getting my Kore3 hubs for a bit and I have the complete front clip off. Using Tobin's diagrams I measured from where the wheels will mount back to the PTFB upper balljoint and it was approx 6 inches. I'm thinking maybe an 18 x 9 wheel with 4.5 BS. Opinions?

In the Front I ,m running 5 in BS on a stock subframe wheel size here is 18in - 8.5 wide Have room yet to move inboard 1/2 so max would be 5.5 in BS before hitting tie rod ends I.m using all of Kore 3 stuff. So a 18 x9 wide with a 5,5 in BS should be good

Its The Premier series ZX3P With polished outer hoop and HTM Brushed finish center section With hidden bolts ,I hate cleaning around bolts If you order from them make sure use ask for the longer center caps the short ones will hit the center dust caps

Thanks for the tip on the caps DB!

Looks like you used open lugnuts also? Are you pretty happy with the brakes so far? What are you using out back for brakes?

I used open lug nuts for Tech inspection,Did not run them yet car going to paint jail for the winter. Starting to tear down the car now for paint should have back by late spring or early summer
