The rear wheels are 19x10 - front are 18x7 - The rear axle is a Ford 9" cut to stock 69 Camaro width.
The shocks were tricky because the SS 01 disc brake and 12" rotors put the caliper in front of the axle on both sides. I had to modify the lower shock mount on the passenger side to clear.
Previously I had the 9" built the first time 5" longer than stock so I could put the C5 rear wheels on with no adapters. There was no issue at all with shocks in this format.
The rear parking brake is 100% functional. If I had it to do over I would have worked with the axle shop to mount the brake bracket up-side-down on the passenger side so I could put that caliper facing rear - then re-route the parking brake cable.
I think the rims are on a 5" back space...but am not sure at the moment.
I had cleared out the lip with the C5 rear wheels - which is a real pay-off here - no rub of any sort unless I push the car hard through a corner. ZERO rub up front - where the C5 front wheels use to drag on hard turns or turns in combo with a curb or bump.
