Guys, I'm new to the website and have some questions I need help with. I lost my father this past May to cancer and he was up until now had taught me most everything I know about restoring cars. We restored the camaro once together however I am wanting to go the pro-touring route for the killer looks. I have done a lot of research and want to use Forgeline DS3 (http://www.forgeline.com/products/performance-series-step-lip/ds3-17-18-19-20.html) wheels. I will not be lowering the car, it has a big block with hooker super comp headers so ground clearance would be an issue plus maybe I'm just old school and kind of like the car to sit up a bit. Also, I will never be racing the car it is strictly a driver. I am wanting to go with 18x8.5 front and 18x10 on rear, what back spacing should each use with factory style suspension or at the most Hotchkis upper and lower control arms on the front. The "tucked" look is not too important to me as long as the tires are even with the outer lip of the wheel wells with stock 4 leaf rear springs I'm thinking it wouldn't rub since it's now lowered. As far as tires go what would you recommend to run on the front and on the rear? Thanks.
