67 bird 18x10.5 or 19x10 out back?
The corvette wheel I want to use on my 67 bird only comes in 18x8.5---18x10.5---and 19x10. I will use the 18x8.5 up front and want a 18 out back as well. The 18 is obviously better from the performance perspective but will it fit? What tire size would be bes as well?
Btw I will use hubcentric spacers and the car will land a three inch drop all around.

The 10" wide wheel will work, but the backspace is the important factor. A quarter inch off either way will cause rubbing on either the inner or outer wheel well, and possibly shred your tires. Measure them before you buy them.

Kinda sucks I really dont want to run a 19 so I'll keeping looking around. I'll be running hubcentric spacers to set the offset as the only good wheels I can budget are corvette reprod.
