Wheels specs - Need some feedback

[nando2986]

Hi all,

looking at at a set of wheels and want to get some feedback on the fitment I’m going to go with. Car is mini tubbed in the rear and can shorten rear end if needed but would prefer to keep rear end stock length if possible.

Front end end will be pretty much stock style components with drop spindles. (Using QA1 control arms if that makes a difference)

Let me me know what you think or if you see any fitment issues I might be overlooking.

fitment:

F: 18x8.5 +1 (4.8” BS) 3.0 inch outer lip

R: 19x11 +21 (6.83 “ BS) 4.0 inch outer lip

Car is 67 camaro that would probably help. Couldn’t figure out how to edit.

I think you're on the right track for both the front and the rear.

One thing to watch out for would be the tie-rod hitting the inside of the front wheel because of the drop spindles. The wheel-pin gets moved up, and the steering arms stay in the same spot. If you had stock height spindles you'd be 100% in the clear with those specs. Maybe someone who has drop spindles can chime in with how much backspace they are actually using.

Thanks Cliff for your response this exactly what I feared was maybe running into an issue with sterrring components.

Any guys out there with a similar setup that I’m looking to use please chime in with your thoughts the more info the better.

Thanks in advance
