69 Camaro Wheels help
 

Looking for a little advice on wheels, I have a 69 camaro with mini tubs and morrison rear clip. I have a new set of kdws, 275 35 18, and 335 30 18. I have a axle flange width of 55" with 14.5 inches from outer wheel lip to inner tub. I also am running 14 inch wilwood on front, also morrison clip. I have seen a few running vette style wheels with spacers? I am not to thrilled about the spacer setup although it must work ok. I like the zr1 style wheels. I would like advice on running 18s on the front and 19s on the rear? or do I keep the tires I have and run 18s all the way around, Like 18/9 front and 18/11 or 12 rear? I would rather not spend 3g on wheels but may be the only choice.

3g for wheels is actually a really good price for those sizes you want.

Given the level of your build, I would think new custom wheels would be a given. What's the opportunity cost to not use the tires you have now? I would think an 18x9 or 9.5 up front and an 18x12 out back would work well for your application with BS's for your chassis.

I have come to the realization that I will have to have custom wheels made, You guys are right by telling me not to (be a tightass). I think I may go with rushforth. Have contacted them a few times and they seem to be straight shooters. At this point in my build I have so much time and money in it might as well finish it up right.
Thanks for the advice:G-Dub:

Save a little longer and get what you really want. It took me 5 yrs to decide on wheels and when Forgeline had their black friday sale I finally pulled the trigger. Wheels and stance can make or break a car. If you don't do it right the 1st time you will always wish you did

I have dealt with Jason a few times in the past and he is great to work with. Put it this way. You not gonna get the old lady a $4000 top end, put her in an $800 dress and have her where Nike's right? :poke:

Yep your right Vince, titties and wheels, reminds me of the saying if it has tits or tires your gonna have problems, I don't think If she had a $4,000 top end anyone would look at her shoes, lol:lmao:

We are building a 69 with AME stuff and 18's and 19's are the ticket in my opinion.

335 on the rear. Spend the money- wheels and stance!

Jason is a stand-up guy and his wheels are manufactured now with the best quality I have seen from him. Trust me I think I am over 10 sets now. He will steer you right on the finishes and style.

Just installed Forgeline ZX3's myself. 18x10, 18x12. 265/35 and 335/30 tires. Could have went with 275 but would have to raise the coil overs to make work and would not have had the stance I wanted. Have a Chassisworks pro G and DSE quadralink mini tubbed.

Like they say it's only :G-Dub:

Is that what your running on the red chevelle, that was one on my list to see at the sema show, I finally saw it the last day and about 30 miles walking later in the far end of the building, That is a sweet car.
