Wheel width & BS First Gen
Could I ask for specs and maybe photos for a first gen camaro to run 18" wheels in the front. I need width and back space options that have been successfull. I have stock width tubular a arms, with aftermarket drop spindles and discs that might have narrowed the stance about a half inch on each side. It has shockwaves so they will need to tuck. I'm running 18" Boyd JYD on the rear with 335 30. Need tire size to match that profile also. The fitment list at the beginning of the thread has hardly no first gens with 18" wheels listed, but I think there is a lot of them out there. Pics help me visualize if at all possible, and list your specs to if anyone can respond. Please.

for a stock front 69, we typically spec an 8" wide wheel with 4.75 to 5.00 backspacing, and a 245 wide tire. You may run a 235 wide tire if you really want to slam it without hassle.
