Really need some help
 
Been getting different answers and need to confirm with the team here that have run the following to 100 percent confirm

69 camaro
Dse mini tub
Ride tech 4 link
Has anyone successfully run a 335 tire with an 18x12 wheel without rubbing.
Some searches I have found where Bret said yes, they have run a 335 and had some answers saying the g r/s givaway car had them but there was some rubbing

I just need a 100 percent confirmation if anyone is running the setup with a mosier 12 bolt stock length

Also what backspacing did you run in the rear??

Any help would be extremely appreciated

Someone else can weigh in, but its all in the backspacing. 69 Camaro and minitubs fits a 12 wide with 335s no problem, you just have to nail the backspace for your diff width. We do it lots but with Speedtech rear torque arm.

As long as your rear suspension is centered and you measure twice for backspace, you'll be fine. You might have to trim back or fold up the edge of the quarter lip depending on your chosen ride height but thats it. Heck we can even pull our 19x12s on one of our camaro installs without dropping the coilovers and the diff down, just because of its ride height.

I have plenty of wheel tub.... My problem is that the 335 when mounted in the wheel well seems to hitting the bottom bar of the 4 link or is very very close and being told might rub

Do you have the offset lower bars?

If it's in the way, move it. I would add a 1/4 or 1/2" wheel spacer to each side and clearance the quarter panel lip of the wheel opening if you are concerned about it. I'm assuming you don't want to modify the suspension. I think that will be the easiest route to achieve what you're after.

you need the offset lower bars if you don't have them. otherwise it should clear fine.

off set bars
 
I have the offset bars but what I am seeing is that they are offset but when going towards the housing they move back out toward the tire which feels like it is defeating the purpose of the offset....

Shouldnt they be perfectly Parallel and not have an angle from the front leaf pocket to the rear end housing?

Well not yet

The only thing I can think of is that the brackets are not on the axel correctly

That would be my suspicion. Who installed them?
