69 Camaro biggest tires on 18/19 wheels

[69blackwhss]

Am thinking about getting some 18 for the front an 19 for the rear the car is stock on suspension besides bigger brakes all the way around an no mini tub. Thanks for any help guys an if anyone haves pics of A 69 Camaro with big rims let me see them

[69blackwhss]

Anyone running this setup??

Hello,

A 18/18" Combo is the way to go due to that 19" tires are limited in size, and more importantly 19" may reflect a shorter sidewall than the 18" front. I would go 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. Let me know what brakes you are running as the caliper clearance may come into play but we will note that at the time of your wheel order by requesting a thicker pad.

Here is my 18/19 combo: Forgeline ZX3R's 18x8 with 245-40-18 tires in the front and 19x9.5 with 275-35-19 tires in the rear.

Yes, the car has been lowered with Hotchkis springs up front and 1-inch lowering blocks on stock Z28 leafs in the rear. Stock suspension and stock wheel tubs.

Cool what about upper an lower arms they stock also?

[ProdigyCustoms]

One of my favorite customer rides Neil. Simple but aggressive.

Neils car runs the perfect set up for first gen Camaro / Firebirds. The 275 / 35 / 19 tire is 27" tall on a 19" rim, so 8" bigger then the rim. The front 245 / 40 / 18tire is 26" tall on a 18" rim, 8" taller. Same amount of tire around the rim front and rear but the 27" tire fills the rear wheel well better then the the 26" tire would on a 18" rim. So you end up with a very subtle tire / wheel stagger.

This is becoming our most popluar combo now.

[Neil B]

Thanks Frank.

69Blackwhss,

Yes, the upper and lower a-arms are stock. The only non-stock items are the front coils, rear lowering blocks, Koni reds all the way around, and an agressive alignment. Even the rear fender lips are stock and have not been rolled. Also, you can't go wrong with Prodigy and Forgeline. They went as far as making my rear wheels with different offsets for each side (!) in order to nail the fitment.

thank neil b

Neil B – Your car looks great with those wheels and tires. It sits just right. Are you using our 2 or 3” drop coils?

Thanks! The springs are your 1907F's purchased and installed back in late 2002. The Hotchkis Challenger is one of my all-time favorite cars.

Neil's car is sick,always one of my favorites and those Forgeline just put it over the top!

Here's an 18" all-around combo if you decide to go that route,completely stock suspension except springs,1" lowering block and Koni shocks...18x8 & 18x10's set up by Jon Henson @ www.driverzinc.com :

[DriverzInc]

Thanks John, we've done countless sets with 18x8 fronts and 19x9.5 or 10" rears, tire size is readily available in a 245/40/18 and 275/35/19 in more than a few tread patterns from Nitto, as well as other brands. Backspace will of course depend on a few things, but the 1st gens are so cookie cutter, we have recommended offsets based on the host of modifications being made to them. Schott wheels just bitchin, as well as Fikse and with the sale, an incredible deal, as well as Forgeline and NewGen to name a few. Good luck with what you choose, looks like the other vendors have jumped all over it for you, but if something doesn't pan out, let us know, we're always happy to help.

[Hotchkis]

Thanks! The springs are your 1907F's purchased and installed back in late 2002. The Hotchkis Challenger is one of my all-time favorite cars.

Neil B – The 2-inch dropped springs look great on your car!

Thanks! We’re glad you like our Challenger. It’s an exciting car to drive and it gets better all the time.
