Boyd Junkyard Dog - Trade 2 20's for 18's?
 
I've got 20" rear's on my 68 Camaro. I'd rather have 18's.

Here's what I have on the car now on the rear:

Boyd Junkyard Dog wheel:
20x8.5"
255/35/20 tire
Tire is 26 1/2 tall
5" Backspace (from mounting surface to back lip of wheel)

Here's a picture of them on the car

Anyone out have a comparable 18" tire (with the same width & backspace) that really wishes they had 20's?

I know...it's a longshot, but you never know.

Feel free to email me if you want to talk. danscamaro "at sign" myacc.net

I'm located in South Florida.

Even if I wanted a total dub look, they would never fit.

The 18x7's in the front have 5 1/2" backspace and barely fit. 18x9 1/2 would be perfect for the back...with the right backspace.

Hi,

your wheels are not Junkyard dogs, but Smoothie II :)

I have junk yards and those are smoothies. you can tell by how the spoke rounds out on the smoothie.

Thank you for the correction.

I think I may just list all 4 of them for sale and start with something new, so this is helpful.
