69 Camaro Wheel and Tire sizes
I picked up a 69 Camaro this weekend with 17" wheels and would like to go to 18's. Car has stock suspension and not tubbed. Has dropped spindles and disc brakes all around. What 18" tire and wheel combo are folks running with no rubbing issues?
Thanks!

I’m running 9x18’s in the front with 5.5” BS no issues at all with 265/35/R18 tires. Rears I’m running 10x18’s also 5.5” BS with 285/30/18 with no issues at all. I have almost 2 inches between the inner wheels well/frame and actual wheel/tire. I could Fit 295 in the rear I’m sure with no issues. Gonna try 305 as soon as I can find a used or cheap pair of 305’s. Nothing at all has been modified on my cars body. I have a real 69 Z/28 and would never cut or trim or modify any part on that car. I do have C6 Z06 Vette brakes all around and speeetech uppers and lower up front along with their AFX spindle. And love it so far. Barely breaking everything in but so far no issues with anything except that the hydro boost is to sensitive lol.
