You need to figure some clearance for the sidewall of the tire. Look at the section width of the tire you plan to use. Subtract your rim width from the section width. Half of that number will be how far the tire will stick out from the wheel. Keep in mind that there will be some sidewall flex on cornering.

Follow this advise. Some measureing (which you've done), a little research on tire specs and some simple math will tell exactly what you need.

Are you wanting a reversed lip design or standard lip wheel...Intro only offers up to 10" wide wheels in there reversed lip wheels, although for a ton more they will weld two hoops together to go wider. Were they possibly telling you the wheel only comes in a 10?

For what it's worth I have a 18x11.5 wheel and a 315/30/18 tire on my 68 w/ only a 2.5" mini-tub.

If you are stuck on Intro wheels give HvyDeez a call, they are easier to deal with, they are who I used for my Intros.

Thanks for the advise, do you have any pics of your car. Would like to see the 18 on the back, or the whole thing.

Thanks

Not sure if it will help, but here are pictures of when I had my 67 camaro mini tubbed.

I am running 11" wide wheel, 5 1/2" backspacing. I had my rear end shotened.

Sounds like you got the info you need but I just wanted to tell you I ordered custom 12" rear rims for my '69 Camaro from intro. Dave is hard headed and doesn't want to sell you something that might not work. Go to members and to Shawn Strunk's '69 Camaro to check out my car.

I say order from Intro because they look cool and are great rims. I would just order them the way I need it with the right back spacing and width. They will send you exactly what you ordered just make sure your right on the demensions.
