Wheel size help

[paulk68]

Alright so before I order my rearend I am going to order my wheels, now I am not sure what size or backspacing to order. my head is spinning from all the info I am finding. here is my setup.

68 Camaro with Mini tubs
Rear suspension= Ridetech Bolt on 4 link with coilovers
Front= stock subframe with complete ridetech setup including tru turn package

have not picked brakes yet but i am leaning twords a baer set up

The car will mostly be street driven and i do not want to roll any of the lips or do any mods to my inner fenders. i also woul dlike to avoid any rubbing since it will be used mostly on the streets.

SO what do you think would be safe for wheel size and back spacing front and rear?

Please help this first time builder

safe wheel size is 11" wide on 67-68 with a 315. You can force a 335 under there but you have to be dead on with backspace. Also choice of tire will help as well. Nitto Invos are on the narrow side compared to BFG or Michelin. Dont know why, they just are. As far as backspace I would run 5.5" and rear end width should be around 54.75 axle flange to axle flange.
