Rear wheels setup

[jeremyS]

Hello

i know there are many that have done this, so I have 67 camaro dse mini-tub,upgraded g-link. So my question is when it comes to rear wheels ok to order wheels the chop rear axle accordingly or chop axle then order wheels? 12 bolt rear not that it makes a difference? Thoughts

I am doing the same mod and I was told after you get the tubs in you can order wheels/tires and offsets to taste. Then mock up for differential..
Got any pics?

It's almost always better to order your wheels first for perfect fitment including back spacing. If its done the other way around you risk limiting yourself on wheel sizing and choices. Get the look right, then build the rear end to spec.

Also you must consider caliper fitment when ordering wheels, not just offsets.

thanks guys, thats what i was thinking, getting ready to order some american racing wheels (dumb cheap and look pretty good for under $400 for rears and custom backspace) sorry Quick boat No pics right this sec, not on the computer, i suppose i should up load some, looking to do a 18x12 with 335's

Didn't know 335's came in 18 inch? What offset will you go for?

335's in 18's are getting to be more scarce, but ofcourse i find a reasonably priced wheel and they dont make them in 19's? go figure. there are a couple of manf. that make them in 335/30/18. as far as backspace havent decided completely but i am looking for that 5-6" lip, i think thats about a 5 3/4 B.S.Love the forgelines/rushforths just cant fathom 4k on just rims?

Hello

12 bolt rear not that it makes a difference?

Order your wheels first and when you narrow your rearend have them put on ford ends so you have bolt in axles and eliminate the C clip.
