68' Camaro Stock to STACKED build
 

Im new to lateral-g, my name is Scott and Im from Santa Cruz,Ca. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a very clean and stock 68Camaro 4-spd.

One thing led to another, and now Rich Bermea(roadtouring customs) Gilroy, Ca is doing a full DSE build for me. Front to rear. Using 14in baer 6s all around, and mini tubs. Motor is a 421 small block from skip white performance (590+ hp).

I need help on wheel fitment. I am considering doing a staggared set up on my car. 18in front 19in rear. 275front and 325 rear.

Any thoughts or guidence?

Thx in advance
Scott

Welcome, sounds and looks like a real nice project.

For a staggered 18/19 setup, I really like the setup on this car from HPI Customs (member 64pontiac)

Rear wheels are 19x12 with 7 inches of lip (rushforth rated x) 335/30/19 Tire and fronts are 18x9 (Tire size not sure)

Good to see you post Scotty! :woot:

Guys, this is a sweet virgin car with really nice paint. It's got a great parts list going in too. Scott likes to track too so this will be fun when completed to have another local track partner.

:thumbsup:

Welcome.
Very cool project. Car does look clean.:thumbsup:

With a 19in rear im not sure if i can fit a 335 cleanly with out rubbing issues in a 68'.

Has anyone delt with a 19in rear in a 68' camaro? Dse tubs, narrowed rear, etc.....

325 sounds like it might be the ideal size for a couple of reasons. less rolling resistance vs. 335, weight, and is run on Z06.

Does a staggerd wheel set benefit the suspension geomtry or hurt in a 68'?

Scott, I know we talked about this car already, and after seeing it at RTTC, it is killer and looks great on its 19s, if that's how big you wanna go.
