I recently purchased DSE rear quadralink kit and am looking to fit some wheels to what the exact wheel and tire size I am looking for.

Question is does anyone in southern california have a mock up wheel in an 18 or 19 and 11" wide? Somewhat of an odd shape I know.

OR is there a trick way to simulate or mock up a wheel and tire size to check for fitment. I am contemplating on buying their wheel tubs or working on my own depending on what wheel and tire size I like. They built the kit to hold an 18x11 with a 5" bs and a 305/30/18 tire. I do want a slightly bigger tire on it but but I really need to see a size first to be 100% sure.

Any ideas on mock up. Willing to pay or rent a wheel... Haha if someone has one to use.

Please let me know.

You do not have to suffer doing all that. I can give you all the dimensions. Width of tub, wheel width / BS / rear width. Building your own inner tubs is pretty easy if you have more time then money. Using DSE tubs make the job faster, less finish work.

67-69 you can fit a 335 in there no problem. If it is a 69 you can fit a 345.

Well stupid me I should of stated that this was for a 66 nova. :hammer:
But I think Im gonna go with the 315/30/19 that DSE is running on their test car. It obviously fits I was worried that it might be to small of a sidewall. I was looking for a slightly bigger sidewall but it sure is hard to find options with that wide of a tire. (Im new to this scene) But being able to buy something relatively standard and common at a tire shop weighs into the whole thing as well.

Thanks 6spdcamaro too for that link. Ive never seen that before and it looks pretty cool. Great way to check clearances.
