I have a 70 camaro that is NOT mini tubbed and won't be. I just ordered Ride Tech's level 2 coil over system for the front and rear. I would like to run 18" wheels in the front and 19" in the rear. I am pretty sure I can do a 19x10 in the rear. Not sure what OI can do in the front. Has anyone run a 285/35/19 in the back. What rim width in the front should I run and tire size. Any Ideas on the offsets. I would love for this to be a weekend car and get into auto cross, so I want to have some clearance so no rubbing. Please help........

Typically a 8.0X18 w/ a 245 and a 9.5X19 w/ a 275 tire. With a DSE mini tub you can fit a 12" rear and w/ the DSE front sub frame a 10.0" front fits. I don't believe the coil over system alone with create additional wheel width clearance.

Hope this helps!

Do you have any pics with the 18x10's on the car? I am trying to do the same and I can't seem to figure out the right backspace.

285 is very small for a 10 inch wheel. 315's on 10 inch wheel will fit no problem in the back, and 285's up front are no issue either, stock subframe. I have stock frame and sheetmetal and I have the equivalent of a 295 p-metric tire all around on 17x9.5's,
