69 Camaro Air Ride and 20x12" wheels

[tazinhawaii]

So I finally got some $$ to commence the next phase of my 69 Camaro project. I plan on going with the air ride 4 link in the rear, and want to go with 20x12 rear wheels and 325 or 335mm tires. I will do the DSE mini tub. Anyone running 19x12 or 20x12's with this set up? Any other things that will need to be modified for this setup? Super Chevy mag this month has a 69 camaro that they say has the air ride with 19x12's. But very little other info.

Thanks,
Derrick

Derrick,
We can help you with all the right measurements, and backspace recommendations. Give us a call, and we can talk some more about how want the car to sit, and what type of driving you are planning on doing with the car.

thats going to be sweet! make sure to post pics when the setup is finished

Can you truly fit a 12" wheel after a mini-tub? The biggest I figured could safely fit was an 11", unless it never sees any real driving.

Due to the excessive extra $$$ for the 20x12" wheels vice 20x10", I'm just going to go with 10" wheels and 275 rear tires... I have to keep the budget within reason....

You could always run the 305 Nitto on a 20x10 too for a beefy looking tire. Let us know if you need anymore help.

Will a 305 fit in the stock wheel well??? If it will, then I know what I'm going with!!

its a tight squeez but a 20 x 12 does fit with a minitub kit, we found that the Pirelli PZero Nero 325-25 x 20 tire leaves enough room for clearance, you will have to roll the fender lip as well, but most people do this regardless. I just got word today that my Forgline rims will be here the end of next week. i will get some good photos showing the clearance we are left with then.

Sorry Derrick, I thought you were still going to mini tub, but didn't want to fork out the extra $ for the widened wheel. I would not suggest a 305 in a stock wheel well. 285 is the widest I'd go...

I just got all my new parts in. 20x10" and 19x8.5" Rushforth Live wires, air ride, Baer brakes, Strange Dana-60 rear. The wheels even exceeded my expectations. Even the fit of the 20x10's is perfect. Thank you Jason!! Here are a couple pics :

Those look great. Are you going to roll the inner fender too, or will they clear? I'd love to go with the air ride setup on mine, but the cost keeps telling me no. I'd be curious once you get it on the road how often you find yourself changing the ride hight.

Nice ride!

Looks like Christmas morning in your garage. That's an awesome stack of parts there, Derrick. Glad to have our wheels on your project. It looks great!

The inner fender lip is already 'somewhat' rolled from the previous owner. But I'm pretty sure they would have fit without rolling them (although I can't be sure). The whole reason I went with the air ride is because I've only read good reviews, and I am sure I can nail the right look/ride height with this. Plus it will allow me to raise the car to get over some of the horrendous speed bumps and lousy driveways here in Hawaii when I need to.

No way man...join the crowd,don't fight 'em.

Those wheels will look awesome on that car,excellent choice.

I just got the car down on all fours. I about shat myself when I stepped back and looked at it. Even better than I imagined when I ordered the parts. Here are a couple pics. This is with the air ride all the way down. I'm hooking up the electrical for the air ride tomorrow to get some air in the bags.
