      Hello all

      Hello everone,
      I'm joining you from Colorado. I have a 69 Camaro that I've owned since 1987, and recently have started converting it from a drag to pro-touring. It now has some Wilwood brakes, Heits tube a-arms, drop spindles, QA1 shocks (coil over up front), bigger sway bar, wheels, and I lightned the big block with some aluminum heads. I look forward to picking your brains for some rear suspension, and transmission upgrades. I'll post some better pictures shortly to give you a better idea what I'm working with.

      Thanks in advance,
      Ernie

      Thanks class67 and Tod,
      The wheels are from Raceline. 20X8.5 Front and 20X10 Rear

      The cowl is still in "racer suede", but should be painted soon.

      Those 20 look great on your car, what's the backspacing on them (front & rear)?

      Thanks for the greeting! I don't know if these offsets will work with stock suspensions, so its always best to measure your own ride. (especially at full steering lock on lowered cars)
      The backspacing for the front wheels is 5.25", and the rear is 6".

      Bad ass brother...I just fell in love with the stance and wheel selection of your ride. I checked Racelines site for pricing on wheels but they only post prices on special buy, do you remember how much you paid for the set?

      I understand that, I was more intrested in the lip sizes front & rear because I liked the depth of your rims. I like the staggared look.
