Re: New wheels

Seems like regular old camaro wheels like on the car in the picture were about 15X7. Most IROC wheels were 16X8. Lots of guys are running 17X9.5 on front and 17X11 on back without a problem. That's what I have and they never drag or rub. You could go 18s without a big deal with a shorter tire. Going any wider than 9.5" on front and 11" on back is going to take some work.

Re: New wheels

an 11 on the back will take a little work to get to sit right in the well, nothing huge, some work on the front of the wheel well maybe some hammering of the bumpstop area and you are set. Tubular control arms will help with clearance too, they get close.
