Wheel/Tire Dillema on my 69 Camaro

I agree with Payton that a pot hole will be an enemy especially when the rim will take the hit because the suspension is bottomed out. I do however like the look of a well stanced camaro with a 19's. I really guess to have to weigh what you want to do to the car, and ask what you are willing to live with.

Do what? Why would the suspension be bottom out? Have you seen Project EmptyNest? I have never seen a subframe car that has a lower ride / race height? Yes it has custom front inner wheelwells to clear the 295 front tires, but that has nothing to do with the rear. Project Payback runs those tires, the stance is killer? Pot holes? There is more sidewall on a 19" 345 the a 18 inch 335.

As for not performing on 19s..............................
