I know this question has been asked before but I want to ask specifically for my car. My 69 Camaro has stock suspension front and rear with disc brakes off a Nova on the front ( I think). I am looking at some wheels that are advertised to fit my year car, I just want some real world opinions. They are 18X9 with 5" bs for the rear and 17X8 with 4.5" bs for the front. Will these fit my application? If they will then what tire size recommendation do you have. I've seen where others have been using 275-40-18 on the rear but what for the front? Thanks for any input.

The rears would fit better if they were a 5.25" backspace, and the fronts would fit better if they were a 4.75-5" backspace. At these measurements, you could run a 245/40/18 front, and 275/40/18 rear.

These are available in Foose Legend (off the shelf), Vintage Wheel works, and all the custom two piece billet guys. Let us know if we can help you with any certain one...

So does this mean I may have fitment problems with the wheels?? 245/40/18 fronts, the front wheels are 17's if this matters with you size suggestion.. I would love some Foose Legends just can't swing it right know that's why I'm loking at these cheaper knock offs just to get me going. Thanks for the quick response. Just for the hell of it shoot me a quote on the Foose wheels. Also I prefer the 17" front because I like the staggered look.
