1968 Camaro Wheel and Tire Size

[Breagan]

I have a 68 Camaro trying to figure out whats the largest Tire, Wheel combo I can run? 2" drop in front, stock 12 bolt rear. I want the pro touring look with out tubing?? Any help would be great.

When you say largest are you asking about width, diameter, or both? Most of our customers end up going with 18" wheels. If that is the case, 18x8/18x9's with 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 is the sweet spot. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call at the shop.

I was refering to width and diameter. Thanks a ton. I thought that would be the size but wasn't sure.

These are 19x10 with 275/35 tire on my stock 67. They were on a 69 before i got them, and they barely fit on the 67. Can get back spacing off them if you need. I have an 8.5 10 bolt but the width should be the same on stock 10/12 bolt. Scott

NICE RIDE!!! If you could find the BS that would be great. Does the rears rube?

We typically do 18x8s and 9s with 245s and 275s for a safe fit on a low car. 19s look so good on them but unfortunately 9.0 isn't a standard width in 19.

Im running 18x8 front, 18x9 rear Boyd Coddington Junk Yard Dog 2-piece aluminum wheels, powder-coated in flat black. Toyo Proxes 225/40-18 front and 275/35-18 rear. But the rears are a bit too small diameter, Im going to go with 295/35 for next set, that will be a half inch larger diameter. My car is lowered 3" in rear and 1.5 in front.

I think it was:

Front: 18x8. Offset: +12, Backside Setting: 4 1/2 (Tires: 225/40-18)

Rear: 18x9. Offset: 0, Backside Setting: 5 (Tires: 275/35-18)

But check with the guys at Boyd's, they can help. http://billetwheel.com Talk to Chris

Jason: Is that 245-45-18 front and 275-40-18 rear?
