Rushforth Fuel Wheels
Well against the advice of a few people ( they say they will not fit ) I bought a set of used Rushforth Fuel wheels. 18x10 5.625bs and 18x8 4.75bs They are going on a 68 Camaro that is still on the rotisserie. I have a saw, cutoff wheel, and welder so I say they'll fit somehow or another
. I have 2 rearend options. A stock width 10 bolt and a 58.25 width Ford 9". Leaning towards using the 9" but may have to use about a 1/4" spacer to make it work untill I can get new axles made. Guess I'll go ahead and plan on mini-tubs to. I'll build the car around the wheels. Gonna be a while before it's rolling again but just could not turn down the chance at owning a set of rushforths. I'll post some better pics when they get here.
Cya, Dion

The rear backspacing will be easy to make work. Good luck on the front though...

Good catch on the front backspacing. Had a brain fart when I was typing. It's fixed now. Hope it'll all work out.

No need for mini-tub. It can work with just a little massaging and perhaps moving the inner rear wheel well as much as possible towards the frame rail.
