      Wheel sizing for my 1st gen Camaro

      Im looking to get my camaro fitted with rims soon. My car is currently in a body shop and they dont feel comfortable sizing it for rims/tires. I know of a shop or two that could do the job but how much should I expect to pay? How much work is involved? I have a stock sub frame with chassisworks supsension kit in the front and a narrowed 9" rearend. Im thinking a staggered setup, 18's/19's. Forgelines with fat tires. How much time is involved and whats a fair price? A few hours? Or does this take all day? I dont want to go in this naive and get taken advantage of, tired of that. Thanks.

      Are you tubbed/minitubbed, or do you have stock rear wheelwells?

      It shouldn't take them long at all if they have the correct tools to figure out what backspacing, etc you need.

      A Forgeline dealer will likely do it for free if you buy the wheels from them. Find a local Forgeline dealer.

      Chris Holstrom Concepts would be a good choice in the PNW.
