Hey guys,

So the tough question is finally here, What wheels do I want to run? I like the look wheels in the picture im going to add below(Not my GTO obviously). Not necessarily the style of them, But the size and how they fill up the wheel well. The only problem is, I am not finding any specs on them at all. Does anyone know the size of the rims, back spacing? Tire size? Or just the proper size and backspacing to fill up the wheel wells on the GTO? The GTO has large wheel well openings, And I just want them to fill up the wells nicely, As well as clear the brakes I plan on running. Either a Kore3 C5/6 setup or Wilwood.

45098 45099

Ive tried searching on here for the other 68-69 GTO build threads, But I havent been able to find them. And then when I see the guys who have made them and try to click on the link in there signature it comes up as a 404 error or something along those lines. So either a link or some awnsers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Charlie

I added 18*8 (5bs) and 18*9.5 (5.33bs) to my 71 442. Combined that with a SC&C StgII kit and I am installing the front clip back on this week.

The pics you have seem to show a 19 or maybe 20 in wheel.
Here's mine: 18x9 and 18x11

Hey Roadbuster, what springs are you using with your combo?

What's the backspace on your front wheel as well as the tire size? Perfect stance right there
