68 Camaro - front susp. Drop Spindles?

[Miikeremains]

Tried searching but couldnt find my answers.. Sorry

Im in the process of getting my DSE minitubs done and Ridetech 4-link with Shockwave is on the way.

Im looking to order new wheels and tires for this setup and have some questions for the front end - so they match.

What is the biggest 18 wheel and tire i can fit without rubbing the fenders? Frame rubbing won't bother me.

Are drop spindles generally used or is front end height set with stock size spindles and coilovers? I dont think i can use the shockwave on the front with my stock control arms..

Thanks guys

I highly, highly, recommend getting an aftermarket front subframe for a first gen Camaro. Especially a 67 or 68. They don't have much room for wide tires up front and you sacrifice handling. A 255x18 is about the limit & even that will rub at full lock.

With rear minitubs you can probably run a 315 rear tire and probably even a 335. But you will have terrible terrible understeer due to lack of front tire width.
