I agree that Ridetech should modify the info to recommend an 18x9" unless fender modifications are made. Right after I ordered the TruTurn system for my '69 I got to see their '67 48-hour Camaro at the RTTH event. While lying on the ground looking at the setup it appeared the clearances were really tight on that car. That made me worried about fitment on my '69. I'm lucky I was able to borrow a wheel & tire for testing. I have a friend about 90% done with a '69 and he installed the TruTurn system . After looking at my setup he went with 6" B.S. on an 18x9. If he has too much loss of turning radius, he says he might section the frame.

I would like to crawl under that yellow '69 that Ridetech just built for Goodguys to see how they got a 10" on there. Too bad they don't provide detailed pics and instructions on the mods.
