Truturn and 10" wheel
I don't see how anyone is running a 10" wheel and 275 tire on the front of a '69 Camaro unless they are not driving the car or living with a high ride height. Earlier this year I installed the complete front Ridetech suspension with Truturn and tested for clearance with my existing rear 18x10 w/5 3/4" BS and 275 tire. With approx 3" drop (23.5" fender to ground), and anywhere close to full lock, there was extreme rubbing at the top, squarish portion of the fender. I could not see how I could use this combination without severe modification of fender and fenderwell. I went with a 18x9 wheel 5 3/4 BS and 275 tire and that works OK and the tire just rubs the back of the frame at full lock. I would have liked getting the car a little lower but the kit already decreases turning radius by at least 10% so it's not feasible to go with a lot more backspacing. After I got the front aligned, I went back and checked this again and saw no improvement in clearance.
A friend just building his 69 also went with the Truturn and wanted a 1/2 lower height so after testing with my 18x9 combination he went with the 18x9 and 6 1/4 BS and 265 tire. He won't have his on the road for 6 months or so.
