it would seem the new upcomming fad is widening the fenders check the post "fat bottom camaros"
I did use the forum search and I've been looking on other forums. I was asking him about his specific set up.

I was just seeing if I can fit a 18x10 without a mintub on a 1967. As I was SEARCHING and looking through Spiffav8 post and mod list. I dont think he has a mini-tub job.

Dan,

18x8 and 18x9's. 19's are tough due to the fact that 19's are not available in a 9" wide hoop in the wheels you were interested in unless we narrow it for you.

justin,

do you think there would be a problem with a 18x10 in the rear like how Curtis had his?

I'm not going against your recommendation of 18x9 in the rear. I'm just trying to fit the widest rear wheel possible.

Also what rear suspension modification do you guys recommend without spending all that money on a 4-link set up?

I was thinking around a 3'' drop in the rear and a 2'' in the front?

-Dan

How did you fit those 10" wheels on the back without minitubs?

Dan, I would need measurements of your car in order to see if we can safely squeeze a 10 into the rear. As far a suspension goes, a simple Hotchkis TVS kit work wonders on these old cars and is a lot easier on the pocket book.

Hmm... I'm just looking around all the forums. I really want to run a 9.5 or ten in the rear. But I just dont know if it'll work. I'm not going to slam the car so....

But'll we'll talk about that in the emails. I'm hoping to get some time off from studying and call this week. Almost the 11th.....

your correct dan he doesent have minitubs, the fender are just rolled and the b.s must be spot on, he was also run a 285 tire.
