I am minitubbing my 67 Camaro convertible and would really like to know if there is anyone else out there who has minitubbed a 67 and used the stock rearend? What dimensions did you use on the rears? Looking for some suggestions on rims. Right now I have been told to go with a 11 inch rim and around 6.5 - 7 inches of backspacing? Any help?

i would go a bit less back space on a 11 inch rim, something between 5.5 and 6, i like 6.5 to 7 on a 12 inch rim, as 6 is too deep for me, but you can go whatevr bs you want, you will just have to shorten rearend to accomadate

Did you do minitub your car? I would really like to see what someone put on in the same situation.
If I dont want to narrow the rearend $ what would you suggest?

yes i have mini tubbed my car, but do not have rims yet.
if you want to keep stock width rear end, you are gonna be around 7 in bs, roadrage david used 7 in bs on his 68 with stock width rearend and 17x11's, 18's would be same, but i would measure you car and use budniks or intros wheel fitment guide

Call Kyle at DSE. I bet he would know off the top of his head what backspacing to use with Budniks on 17x11 rim with stock rear width.
