      Which wheels will ft better?

      Which wheels will fit better?

      These are 18x10 (5.5 bs) 285 35 18 and 18x8 (4.75 bs) 245 40 18.

      and these (Adam's car) are:

      18x9.5 (5.5 bs) 275 40 18 and 18x8 (5 bs) 235 40 18

      I like the American Racing ones better. I just don't know if 18x10 is to wide. I don't mind rolling or trimming the lip.

      The other concern is that the rear end (8.5 10 bolt) is out of a Nova. I believe it is a different lemgth than the Camaro. I know I will need to do some measuring.

      Thank you for any advice.

      Steve

      If I was limited to those two choices, I would go with the second set. The 10s on the first set are too far outboard and look like they'll rub.

      I'm running 18x10's with 5.75" BS out back, and there is no way they will fit unless you roll the lips and clearance the wells slightly with a hammer.

      The 1st look like they will have rubbing issues for sure. The 2nd set I doubt will have any problems at all.
