I was running a 20x8.5 with 5 1/4" b/s and 285/30R20 tire. My rear end is a 12 bolt housing that was built to stock width, but I'm running big ford bearings (no c-clips). The leafs are globle west cat 5's dearcked about 2 1/4 inches. I think a total of just over 3.5" inches.
In the front a 18x8 with 5" b/s and 235/40R18. On the fornt I run 2" dropped spindles and QA1 adjustable coil overs. After installing the dropped spindles I had to run a 1/4" spacer for clearence between the tire and tie-rod end.

If your going to order rims I would just use this as a reference. I've probely let about 3 or 4 other people try my rims on their cars (all camaro's 68,69's mostly stock) and they never fit the same way on each car..

thanks
 

:thumbsup: thanks for the info it will come in really handy

New Wheels
 

So Sandro, did your new wheels show up yet?

Show us that ride!!!! :yes:

Still waiting, probably be here May 30ish..

I had issues with my drop spindals as well I had a 18x8 with 5" b.s. and it rubbed the tie rod end... changed to the 4 & 1/2" b.s. and it fits fine...woulda never used the drop spindals in the first place had i known it.... :(

I felt the same way but at the time I had sent all my front bear set up back and exchanged it for the drop spindle set up.
My car sat to high without the spindles so I had to compromise. Now with the 20's in the front there is lots of room even with 5" b.s.

Do you have wheels yet?

Sure looks great on the photo! Can't wait to see the new pics once you get the wheels mounted! :cool:

So far I only have the fronts, I recieved the rear wheels only to find out that they sent me the wrong offset. To be hounest, I've never dealt with a company that has made so many mistakes and done so little to correct them. Very unhappy......

Sorry to hear that Sandro,it seems like alot of people in the automotive aftermarket industry don't care about there customers.
