What year Firebird?

Here's 19s on the back of a 68 Camaro

and I think they fit just right. 69s and 2nd gens can handle a 20 better IMO.
If Boze wouldn't have already dipped into my pocket we would be talking. Those wheels are the best new wheel I've seen for a while.
The reason I went with the 19/18 combo is due to a stock front sub and 345mm on the rear. I wanted to stay with a 26 inch tall front tire which is the factory spec but keep the sidewalls the same size.255/40/18 With a 27.4 inch 19 in the back it works out that way. Now if you are running a 275ish 19 out back with around a 26" tire like was stock then I would probably run the 19 up front to keep the sidewalls close. Now if I would have went with a aftermarket sub and a 275mm I would have run the 19 as well.
