68 Camaro Build (Countdown to Columbus)

rear tires need to come out an inch, do that and then repost pic

Like some other people said, I would bring the rear wheels out a little more, and they will be perfect! Looking good. Thanks for the updates.

sweet-thanks guys for the input- I think they need to come out too- but I wanted the car to sit low- and there is no room- back to my problem- if they are out- then the car can't sit where I want it- if it is slammed the wheels are in too far and it looks like an old-school pro-street car-

I'll play with it some more this week-end-thanks again-Chris

If they need to be in that far for clearance, leave 'em. Hard to tell at those angles, but they look fine to me.

You are probably already aware of this (if you are planning on running disc brakes) but make sure you take into account the rotor dimensions,
(usually .250 on each side)

thanks- you are right on the money they are .250 pretty thick

which brings up a whole other question regarding brakes but I will save for a later post

The first time around I had my wheels (Intros) too far under the car and it never looked right....so I ordered new wheels (Fikse) with less backspacing. You only need a .5" or so of clearance...it looks like yours can come out a bit.

The 67-8 quarters make this a challenge for sure. Even when the wheels/tires are out as far as possible they still look well under the car. Look at pics of Penny and my car, they are pulled out afap to work with a stock lip, but still look like they could come out a pinch...don't beat yourself up here...just make it perfect!

good advise thanks Tony

All good advice here. When I measure up custom fitment, I leave .375" of clearance to the outer fender, and at least .750" of clearance to the inner fender. The inner fender is where it would potentially rub first with body roll, the outer fender just needs enough to clear the top corner of the tire, and come over. Looks like you are getting close, looking forward to seeing the car in Columbus!

hey guys just got my Wilwood rear brake set-up nice stuff, got it from Dutchman Motorsports

I took your advise on the rear-end I am sending it out tomorrow- I moved the wheels out 1.5 inches or basically : .75 each side..more pics coming soon-Chris
