245/40
285/35
I have a 69 and I had the rear fenders rolled.These are the same rims Foose puts on all his 69 camaro's. The rims have been discontinued and I had to pull some strings to get them and just need to be sure they will fit. Thanks............Patrick
I don't think either have enough backspacing. 18X9.5's with 5.5" b.s. barely fit with that size tire on the rear. You're going 1/2" wider plus 1/4" less backspacing so you're moving the tire/wheel 3/4" further into the fenders. Also I run 4.75" to 5" b.s on the fronts with an 8" rim. You're going 1/2" wider and again 1/4" further out to the fenders. I'm guessing you will have rub issues front and rear unless your car sits up pretty high.
