Question 18x11 on my '67

Anyone have any pictures of wheels this wide on the back of a 67 Camaro? Wondering if the wheels will fit if the spacing is right. Is that too wide a set up?

And remember a 10" wide wheel measures 11" overall from outside bead to bead, so if you are measuring your own car, keep that in mind. This might be why you are thinking 11".

Default Thanks guys

I'm ordering Detroit Speed mini tubs next week. that was always in the plan.
Just wondered how comfortable the wheels and tires would be after that part of the process is completed. I see wheels that wide on 69's but never on a 67.

I've seen both 18x11 and 12 on 67 and 68. I believe Steve Rupp's 68 has 18x12's with 335's.

Its well worth the trouble. We narrowed the rear to make the rims fit. not 18's but 17x11
