Gen 2 Wheel Size

[mwhizard]

Trying to figure out the sizing for my 71' Camaro. I've decided on using 18" wheels and the wheels I like have a reverse lip and are available with any offset but in widths 7,8,9,10,or12" I was thinking about 245's up front and 275's rear. Not quite sure on profile though. The car has stock wheelwells, I can roll the lips if required. I want it to have a nice lowered stance. Anyone have any advice for me? here's the wheels I am looking at..(but in a semi gloss black center)

Those sizes will fit no problem.

Bingo. You can even fit more tire up front with 5" bs.

Thanks for the help guys! The wheels are by a company called J-line, they average around $725 each, (in custom color - anthrasite -(semi gloss black)) My car is going to be that light blue that you would see on a newer toyota fj, with an anthrasite stripe on the hood and trunk. (matches the wheel centers) I will post some pics of the build as soon as I can.

here's the blue...
