BMW M-Parallels on a '69 Camaro or Firebird
 
I am thinking about putting a set of staggered m-parallels on my '69 Firebird. I would love to see a pic of these wheels on a '69 Camaro or Firebird. If you have a pic please post. Thanks.

Thanks for the pics. What size are the tires?

intocarss 10-16-2012 10:24 PM

245 40 18 front & 275 40 18 back I'd like a 255 40 up front though

What a great looking rim. I would go that route, if I didn't have my current rims.

Do you have rubbing issues in the back or are is the sheet metal rolled up?

With the 275/40 they do rub a little & fender lip is rolled

I've picked up a set of 'real deal' m-parallels. I am thinking about powder coating the centers black and leaving a polished lip. I am hoping my powder coater can accomodate that request.The tire combo above seems to be a good set up dimensionally. More to come.

A little info about fittment for the BMW M wheels (thanks Tracky)

Rear.. 18x9.5 w/25 mm offset = 6.2” back space. You can make that work the way it is but when the car leans it may rub the inner rear tub. 1/2 “ to 3/4” spacer will make that work better. I have a 3/4" spacer in

Front.. 18x8 w/13 mm offset = 5” back space. That will work with no modifications unless you want to get the wheel further out for looks.

Love the wheels and thanks for the rundown...I want a set of m parallels one day.
