1967 Camaro 18" American Racing Billet wheelz - What is the correct size plz
Hello All,
Just recently purchased a completely restored 67 Camaro. I am trying to purchase a set of custom made American Racing wheels for the car. The VN327 - (pictured enclosed with the hood up) a billeted 18" diameter wheel (these are made to order - no refunds or exchanges. Once hey are ordered, there is no turning back).
I've spoken to 3 different shops and they are all telling me something different when it comes to size, backspacing, offset...etc etc. I am all about the appearance of the wheel. That is what I want. Or it is a waste of $3000.00 in tires and wheelz. Aside from fit, function etc....I am all about the look, appearance, stance, rake......
This what I know:
- I do not want the tire to exceed the fender lip
- I want the tires to be somewhat lower profile
- I want to stagger the wheelz
- I will adjust the suspension (rake) once the wheelz are installed. I want it slightly lowered in the front and may bring it up in the back.
- I do not have a wheel to measure to. All of it is custom and made to order. I want to make sure that I utilize every square inch of the tub, however, I don't want to order them and then realize, I could have gone bigger. I could have gone wider. I get one shot at this and I am just puzzled on how everyone is telling me different info. I also don't want to modify any sheet metal. I also don't want it to rub.
I've enclosed a picture of the American racing wheel that I love and want to purchase.
I currently have a 16 x 8 on there and I don't like them.
HELP!
