      Wheels found..finally

      Ok, I finally found which wheels I want for my '69 camaro. They are the "Hammer5" made my Intro... Question.. Will the back spacing be 5.5 for the rear for 18x9? And will the back spacing be 5 for the front for 18x8 or 17x8? Thanks for any input

      yes 5.5 should be fine...a 9 inch wheel you can go 5" but please measure before you buy. same goes on the front.

      size

      On my 69 I was told 5.75 back space on a 10 inch rim with Baer dics, 5.5 on a 9.5 rim. The Baer disc add .20 to the backspacing. So, no disc brakes on rear 5 is correct on a 9 inch...with disc 5.25.

      How about the front with disc? What bs should I use on a 17x8 wheel?
