8.5 will fit but a 275 tire needs 9 or 9.5 rimhttp://i778.photobucket.com/albums/y...Camaro/045.jpghttp://i778.photobucket.com/albums/y...o/68Camaro.jpg

That just looks awesome to me.........How far have you lowered it and how did you go about lowering it? That is a beautiful car!!!

I spent a bit on the phone today with a Boss Motorsports tech rep. This guy is adimate that a 20x10 Boss 338 has no chance of fitting a 68 Camaro and does not feel a 20" wheel will fit the rear period due to overall height. He is trying to steer me to 18" all around. Obviously it will fit, you posted a picture of it. Everyone has me nervous about ordering them now because so many people are telling me it is just a bad idea. I really wanted to do a 20"/18" combo. Anyone know if the Riddler 695 wheel could be a better choice maybe?

Received my wheels and tires yesterday, now I need to decide on which spring set to order. Hotchkis makes a 2" kit that lowers the front 2" and the rear 1.5" or they make a 3" kit. Will the 2" give me the nice stance I want or do I need to do the 3" kit? Also can I even go 3" with a 20" wheel and a 275/30/20 tire? Will the front be an issue with a 18x8 and a 245/30/18 with the 3" kit?
