My budget may not allow for the extra expense but I would wait if I felt it essential to the overall look of the car.
what size tires do you wanna run?? 18x10 can run 285 or 295 ... 18x11 can run 305s...
i woulnt spend the extra 400 per wheel unless you need a 12" for some 335s.

Has any one actually gotten a 335 on an 18x12 into a minitubbed '67 / '68 Camaro or Firebird with a G-bar / AirRide setup? I know there is more clearance on a '69, but I don't know if a '67 or '68 allows enough clearance.

Thanx in advance.

Mike
