On a Gen 1 camaro (67 in my case) running an aftermarket sub and wheel tubs... 18x10 on all 4 corners with the same offset/backspace....
starting to think about wheels / sub/ axle and was thinking about this option... being able to balance F to Rear and rotate all 4 corners..
seems like it would be pretty easy to do starting from scratch. what we already have is what limits most of us.

Tap Out, The sizing and backspace is going to be dependant on the suspension/contral arms and the amount of "tubbing" and shortening you have done or are planning on doing. When you say that you want to run a "Squared" set up, are you wanting to be able to rotate from front to rear? If this is the case, the front wheel backspace will need to determine the rear wheel backspace. This is due to the limitations on the front. As always, we are always willing to help in this process.

Like Mark said, figure the largest for the front and then use the same size and backspace on the rear and build your rear housing accordingly.
I will build my next car using this process.

I bought a set of 18x9.5 Vette wheels and they fit front and rear on my Nova.
I haven't mounted any tires yet, but I'm hoping to fit 275/35's at all 4 corners.
If you have an aftermarket sub and minitubbed rear, I don't see a problem with the wheel size, but the biggest I've seen up front is usually a 275.

295's on the front of a first gen is likely going to require some fender and inner fender mods to make it work.

Yes possible, limitation being front backspacing as Forgline mentioned. As long as your not trying to get the car too low, you would probably not even need a minitub. You would up front have to run Ridetechs tru turn at a minimum or aftermarket subframe. Rear axle cut to length to run required backspacing

Mini tubs are in already... Vegas69 was running these on the front of his 69. Plan is to use the DSE Sub.

That's what I was thinking, and why I planned on selling my ATS spindles, but surprisingly the wheels fit perfectly. I'll mount a tire and check again, but so far it looks like the tru-turn may not be necessary.

According to Ride tech they fit (ATS spindles and the Tru Turn) however they FAQ section indicates you shoudl not combine the ATS spindles and the Tru Turn.. which is a bit strange since OLC has a "Pozzi mod the looks alot like the true turn.

No I was planning on selling my ATS spindles and getting the full tru-turn kit with spindles to clear my wheels, not use the tru-turn parts with my spindles. I know Ridetech tested them and the numbers weren't as good as using their full system.

It's because we lowered the steering arm. The drag link would need to be re-done on the Tru-Turn to match the drop of the AFX forging; the One Lap Camaro has a custom one to solve this.
