Wide front tires ?????
Question: are there any issues with having wide front tires( 12” wide)
I’m building a 68 Camaro and utilizing fender flares I bought from Mr Vengeance on this forum. I thought 10” was going to be wide enough but looks like 18x12 is what I really need on the front in order to keep from having to use spacers.
Are there any drivability issues with that wide of a tire up front.
At this point I think I’m going to use the same wheel/tire setup on front and back. This will actually allow me to rotate my tires which could come in handy.
I’m hoping the general response is the more rubber on the road the better but I figured I’d ask the question and see what you guys think.
Thanks
James

I've had a few cars with 315's all around on 11" wheels. You get a lot of tramlining on the highway with that set-up. It's not ideal for a street car IMHO.
I really prefer a 275 front tire as a max width.1971 Camaro - 406 / T56
