Backspace question- 18" wheel on 68 Camaro

[DWC]

I'd like to get confirmation on the specs for some wheels I'm interested in for my 1968 Camaro.

I have Ridetech coilovers, 4-link, Strong Arms and Tru Turn kit. Fenders and wells are all stock. Will the following specs work?

Front- 18x8.5 et15 (about 5.4"- have to use a 10mm spacer) with 245/40/18
Rears- 18x9.5 et15 (about 5.8"- have to use a 10 or 15mm spacer) with 275/35/18

Thanks for your input.

Should be fine imho. Hopefully a few others will weigh in before you purchase them.

You could probably go with 18x9.5 with 275 in the front also. Bs in front looks ok for 8.5” wheels if you go 275 step that up another 20mm-1/2”

I would go 275/40 in the rear.
My car is 275/35 in the pic in my signature. A little more sidewall would be pefect IMO.

Thanks guys.

c4racer2- I spoke with Ridetech the other week and they said 275 up front would require fender and fender well modifications. At this point, I don't plan to do those mods.

Steve- Photobucket isn't loading the link in your signature. Could you post a photo please?

Ya that could be - not sure on a first gen. Second gen can take a 275/285 without mods to fenders or inner fenders.
