Does this sound like the right backspacing on a mini-tubbed 69 Camaro?

[1969CamaroRS]

Done a number of searches. I am going to measure before I buy wheels and tires as well. Probably get a Tiremount mate. Thinking of going with Michelin Pilot Sport 2s, not sure of the manufacturer of the rim (still working the budget).


69 Camaro

• Front
  • stock sub-frame
  • AFX tall spindles
  • Coil overs
  • 17x8 with 245/45/17 (25.67" diameter, 9.57" section width on an 8" rim)
  • Backspacing 4.75" or 4.875"
• Rear
  • Mini-tubbed
  • G-Bar with coil overs
  • Stock width rear end
  • 17x11 with 335/35/17 (26.22" diameter, 13.5" section width on a 12" rim)
  • Backspacing 7" or 7.125"

I like the look where there is little space between the top of the tire and the wheel well, hoping to fit pretty wide tires and be able to drop it a fair amount (within reason and what the coil overs can handle)



Does that backspacing for both the front and especially the rear sound about right? I'm going to measure to be sure, but some independent ballparking is always nice :thumbsup:

Thanks in advance!
