SEMA 2012, 1969 Camaro, who built it?
I saw this 1969 Camaro at SEMA, it was outside under the Magnaflow tent.
What I'm really interested in is what suspension is used up front, I see the ZR1 OEM wheel and ceramic breaks. That ZR1 wheel backspace is way out there, and I can’t find anyone's subframe / suspension working with that wheel offset. here is a link to a pick I found later online. Thanks in advance for you help http://wot.motortrend.com/2012-sema-...#axzz2YDrWnwjo |
Any subframe using C5/C6 parts will use wheel offsets like that. It's probably a DSE or AME.
|
I don't think those are ZL1 wheels. Here's a pic of the ZL1 wheels:

|
Thanks for the replys
The ZR1 Front wheel is a 19X10 +40mm offset (7.1" backspace) I called DSE verbally they said no. Although I did not get their recomended "wheel backspace" (if anyone knows please post) SpeedTech recomeneded max width is 9.5" with +32mm (6.5" backspace) Thats about 5/8" diffrence, not sure if that will be a problem, cuz I have never suffed fat rubber under a 69. If anyone has experiance otherwise please chime-in and let me know. Im years in the Corvette world, and just stepping in to my 1st 1969 Camaro Pro touring build. thanks |
DSE subframe
DSE recommends a max of 6.125

I'm running an 18x10 w 6.9 bs on my 69 with an Art Morrison sub. Not sure if a 19" wheel would complicate things as its pretty close now.

If you had a 1" spacer made for the fronts, you could run that wheel with a 275/30/19 and it would be roughly the same height as a 275/35/18, I think.
