Default 1967 Camaro w/o mini-tubs...want tucked look

I want to achieve that tucked look on my 1967 camaro. I have a TCI front subframe/suspension and the rear 4 link. Does anyone have an idea of tire/wheel size that I can run to get that look. Want to get the widest tire I can on it without rubbing.

Car is still in the build stage, so rolling fender lips are a possibility.

Thanks in advance...



Dan

If you're going for a tucked look, I'd stick with a 9.5" rear with a 275, maybe a 285. This will likely still require that you roll the fenders a bit for them to tuck in, but they'll fit great. Here's a shot of a '67 with 18 X 10.0"s in the rear - They wouldn't be able to tuck but, with another 1/2" taken off the outside, they would.

On a 67-68 you want to stick toa 9-9.5" wheel at the widest, with a 275/40/18 or there about. Backspacing is key, but we can dial you in so that its as far tucked in as possible, so you have enough room to lower your ride.
