Stock 69 camaro needs wheels

[Z06vette]

Frank listed the back space in his post: BS = Back Spacing

[DriverzInc]

Yup, the offsets that Frank listed are pretty much spot on. If you don't see wheels available in 9.5, run a 9" with a 5.25" Back Space, and the same 275/40/18

I figured the back spacing but a wheel shop here locally asked what the offsets had to be? I always thought that's
What back spacing was offset. Thanks guys!

Us old school guys speak in backspace, not offset. But to answer your question

On the 8" wheel the offset of a 4.875 BS wheel is 9.5
On the 9.5" wheel the offset of a 5.5 BS wheel is 6.3

Keep in mind you can also run 10" wide wheels in the rear generally w/o issues,that's what I run on my '69 Z/28 and it isn't tubbed....but this will be tight so accurate measurements of your buddy's car will need to be taken...measure twice,cut once.

I can also recommend Jon Henson @ www.driverzinc.com he's set up all my current cars as well as my daily drivers...
