I have a full set of bfg kdws 275/35/18 for the front, and 335/30/18s for the rear. I am just about ready to pull the trigger on a set of wheels, My car is a 69 Camaro with art Morrison front sub, I am thinking 9 wide on the front? I am also wondering what everyones thoughts are on 18s or 19s on the back. Would like pictures if anyone has anything to share, also what sizes are you running on the front 9 or 10 wide, Looking at rushforth rated x wheels
Thanks Travis

I prefer same diameter wheels all the way around. Here is a first gen with staggered diameters though and it looks great. https://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?99100-Stunning-FORMULA-43-RAD-10-s-w-Laguna-Gray-Centers-on-a-67-Camaro

This car has 18's front and 19's rear. I think as long as you don't go over 1in difference it looks good, 18/19 looks good, 18/20 is too much for me.

I prefer the same size wheels front and rear. Here is my 68 with 275s on 18x10 front and 335s on 18x12 rear.

If you can replicate jdman's look, you nailed it

Both work well, but 19" tires limit your selection on the rear and will usually cost considerably more than the 18's!

X2... For the Camaro 18's all the way around will work. I went with 18/19 just because of the size of my car and it sucks looking for reasonably priced rears.

Thanks for the advice guys, I am thinking 18/10 up front and 18/12 rears. Two reasons I already have the tires, and I looked at 19 inch tires not much selection and pricey. So I am looking at the rushforth rated-x,, Spoke with Jason Rushforth on the phone a few times and seems to be a straight up dude!

I think it also depends on how low your car sits, too. If you can get it down really low like JDman's, then the 18's look very good. If you car is not that low, then the current 335/30 series tires are taller for 19" wheels that for the 18" and fill the wheel well up better.
