Happy to report....no rubbing. Brakes are performing perfectly. Love this car. Ready for the LS and 6 speed. Ok. Maybe not....kind of worn out. Need the break.

Great news! Its so nice when you take them out and come back with a minimal punch list.

I believe it gave me the clearance I needed, but I have to stress that I did modify the inner fender considerably. I personally can't see how even a 1" narrower wheel would clear the factory inner with anything lower than a stock height suspension. As far as rear, I'm running the 335s on the rear with 6" bs. Let me tell you.....its tight in there with the 335s. Lol. I think I have 1/4" of clearance on either side of my tire of both wheels. But....the previous owner had rolled the lips of both wheels wells. If I were you....I would plan on rolling the lips on the rear openings.....and plan on modifying the inner wheel house. I rolled my fronts until they were straight up....split the inner in several places up to the highest point of housing and cut at the flange, allowing me to push each piece up and added a filler piece behind the flange.

If I could do it over again, personally I would stay with the 9.5's and add 1/2" of bs. Then I would notch and fill the needed space at the frame under full lock. But that's just my car. After a lot of measuring i determined that I was lucky to have a frame in perfect shape.

The only thing that I have found that disappoints me is the turning radius of this car. I can't remember how the car felt in parking lots before the Ridetech Trueturn conversion. That may just be the nature of the 1rs gen Camaro? I even left out the stops on the a arms....still wish my tires would turn in more.

Wayne,

Other than the turning radius being bigger than I would like......I love this set up! I also have to do some tuning on the torque arm. Good thing I built a lot of adjustment into this thing and had help from members here (thanks to Payton, Ron, and Jay) in judging where to start for mounting points. I have a little bit of wheel hop but not severe.

What an Awesome project. You have a beautiful Family.Keep up the great work.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks Scott.

Thanks for all your help. I'm looking at running 18 x 9.5" w/5.5" BS in the front with a 265/35/18 Pilot Super Sport tire. For the rear I'm looking at a 19 x 11.5" w/5" BS in the rear with a 325/30/19 Pilot Super Sport. These will be going on some Forgeline 2" Concave series wheels, so hopefully I'll get the look I want and still have a decent lip in the rear. With Foreglines sale going on, I'm trying to get this pinned down to place my order.

Taking in the difference in brakes that has been long discussed and how much the rotor hat can change the width in the front, I'm hoping we are somewhat close as you are running the Kore C6 Z06 calipers which I believe increase width on the front? I'm running the Baer 6P 14" which is the same setup Ridetech used on their mockup so hopefully I should be okay. A little modification to the front inner fenders is okay, I just don't want a WHOLE lot of problems getting them to fit. You said your turning radius has changed, but if you don't have much rubbing on the frame or control arms how did your turning radius become affected?

Yes...I think Tobins rotors add 1/4" per side in track width but it would be best to ask him. As far as turning radius....I think it's because I'm use to driving modern cars with rack and pinion steering. Lol. But seriously.....it seems like my turning radius is worse. I've got myself in a couple situations where I had to make two stabs at turning into a business. Think I may be spoiled with modern car-itis.

When you were mocking up your rear end and placed the wheels/tires under the car, how much room did you leave between the tire and outer fender? Also between the inner fender and tire?

I just placed my order for some Forgelines 19x11.5 with 5"BS and i'm planning to run 325/30/19 Super Sport tires so i'm hopeful with the 69 fenders I also won't have any rubbing issues if I measure correctly to order a shortened rear end.

I mounted my tires on the wheels, placed them in the wheel wells, dropped the car to ride height and measured between the wheels. That's the same suggestion others on here gave me. And it worked out for me. It will tell you what you need for distance wheel mount to wheel mount. BTW....you should have a little extra room with the 325s and a mini tub compared to my set up.
