      I have a 1969 Camaro 285/40/18 tire at the rear with stock fender wells. Just need to nail the backspacing. I did not do the install, purchased the car like that. You can see how it looks and determine if you like it. No rubbing whatsoever.

      I put the following combination on my '69 that has a 2" drop, rolled rear lips and limits on the front turning radius:

      18 x 10 w/ 5 5/8" BS and 275x35x18 Nitto 555 rear
      18 x 9 w/ 5 1/8" BS and 235x40x18 Nitto 555 front

      The combination fits real good, but I measured about 5 dozen times to make sure it would all fit.

      How much space do i want between tire and body panel? I have 12" side to side and the overall width of the tire I want to use is 11.1". Is that enough room?

      That's some advanced level fitment. How about some pics?

      What do you think, could you go with a 245 and 295 without issues?

      I'm into 69 stangs, but that looks awesome.

      My 18" SLX45 Wheels

      Here are the SLX 45 Billet Specialties Wheels. I couldn't sleep for 2 weeks trying to decide which wheels to order. I think they turned out nice. What do you think?

      Gary, I was thinking about those exact wheels. What size are those? Tires? Backspacings? looks hot!
