Introducing Project THANKS MOM!

[KUSI]

Craigs73,
Thanks. Do I plan on lowering the car? Absolutely! I thought those pictures would bring that question up. It is just that high right now with the engine, interior, and gas tank being out. The car is set up for lowering with the front coil springs and rear leaf springs but I am sure I will still have to add lowering blocks in the back to get it just right. And that deep black is all Brian Finch's handy work.

srh3trinity,
Thanks. I live just north of you in Huntsville. Not enough miles away from Tornado Alley for my liking though.

johnny68,
I appreciate the well wishes. Same to you and your family.

CruizinKev,
Thanks.

Jarcaines,
Those wheels are the heavily debated Boss 338s. Not that they don't look nice but usually the issue of do they fit the Camaros. I was and still am torn between too many nice $$$ wheels and couldn't make up my mind. I needed something now and I ended up liking these especially for the price.

Front: 18x8 with 4.5 BS, Nitto NT555 245/40R18
Rear: 18x9.5 with 5.0 BS, Nitto NT555 275/40R18



In my opinion, this company chose the wrong backspacing when they made these wheels. If they would have setup for more backspacing I think they would sell even more of them. The front is okay at 4.5 BS but the back at 5.0 BS is really pushing it. So much so that many places will not recommend this size on a first gen Camaro. I was able to test fit these wheels before I bought them because a friend had just bought them. After putting them on over the new brakes they are VERY close. The only thing I have in my favor is the fact that Brian did a clean job of cutting back the fender edges inside the wheel tub. These wheels really need at least 5.5 BS and then there wouldn't be an issue. However, as you already know your 68 will have a more rounded wheel opening and you might be able to fit them without an issue. Here is a link to the same set of wheels on a 68. I think you will like the look.
