How big can I go?
 
I am going to be installing hotchkis upper and lower control arms with 2inch drop springs on my stock subframe of a 68 camaro, can anyone tell me what size wheel and tire combo i can get away with?

Whether it's stock height or on Air Ride, it will safely hold 8s up front and 9s in back.

I will be doing DSE tubs in the rear and plan to run as big as i can get and still clear. is that an 18x8 or 17x8?

If you are going to be mini tubbing with the DSE tubs, a 17-20x12 with a 335 rear tire is the way to go.

how big of a tire can i run on a 18x8? Im trying to find some prices so i know how much im gonna have to dip into my retirement...

Also any suggestions on a good streetable set of tires?

Assuming you would use the 18x8 for the fronts, a 245/40/18 is what we would use. For the rears, if you wanted to keep cost down, run a 18x10 with a 305.

Those are 18x8s on both cars I posted and Justin has you covered on your other questions.

Nitto NT555 and Sumitomo HTRZ3's are my favorites.
