Sounds like it's time to pull the rear end! :cheers:

I noticed that when I saw that photo a couple of weeks ago. I would definitely cut the rear end, but get a second opinion from a builder...maybe Frank at Prodigy. He's extremely helpful. Post pictures when you finish it. Also, post some interior pictures when you get a chance.

Chris -
Hope you live up away from the Puyallup river... My inlaws had to evacuate last night... Hope you, your family, and the Camaro are safe and sound... http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/weather/0...ods/index.html edit... My inlaws don't live in the Valley Community Inn btw... |
Chris I had the same problem on my 72 Camaro. I had to move my wheels in 1 inch to keep them from rubbing the fenders on cornering. I am running 17X11 TT II Americans. And yes I did roll the lips. The tires are 315-35-17 BFGs. I had tons of room inboard as I relocated the leaf springs 6 inches inboard, but I went with the standard 5.75 offset. I could have come out ok running a 67-69 rear as they are 1 inch narrower than the stock 72 10-bolt. I wasnt aware of this fact at the time I was building the car though. So I had the wheel centers cut and moved inboard 1 inch on both sides. Works fine now and looks better on track too!

Chris,
I like to usually leave a 1/2" to the fender lip. That should give you plenty of clearance. I've gotten away with as little as .375". You know the rear wheels can be re-rimmed right? Let Jason know if that is what you want to do. |
