Dan, I would need measurements of your car in order to see if we can safely squeeze a 10 into the rear. As far a suspension goes, a simple Hotchkis TVS kit work wonders on these old cars and is a lot easier on the pocket book.

Hmm... I'm just looking around all the forums. I really want to run a 9.5 or ten in the rear. But I just dont know if it'll work. I'm not going to slam the car so....

But'll we'll talk about that in the emails. I'm hoping to get some time off from studying and call this week. Almost the 11th.....

We have done a lot of 9 and 9.5, you will have no problem with a 19 X 9.5 wheel. I would do 18s and 19s.

18 or 19x9.5 would be great if they were available in the wheels you are interested in. .5" sizes are only available in two piece if we custom order a set narrowed for you or do a step lip. 19 wheel hoops in two piece billet are not available in 9" period unless we narrow the wheel hoop. If we step up to a three piece wheel then we can build 9.5"s all day long without issue.

I did not see a particular wheel you are interested in did I?

As for suspension, we have 5 different 4 link, 3 link, and torque arms we sell and install that will suit your needs depending on how much fab and welding you want to / can do.

Call me and we can talk abpout different suspensions.

And check out our builds with those suspensions at our website in the project section.

Dan and I have been talking for about a week about his particular application. Thanks for stepping in and offering your opinion.

Thanks for some of the inputs... it's going to be 18s all the way around....

Just need to pick the wheels now. Bonspeed or Rushforth? I need help here with a style. Either the typical 5-spoke (live wire/rushforth or SS/Bonspeed), mesh look (GT-B/Bonspeed), or multi spoke (rated -X/ Rushforth).

Heres attachment of the camaro.. Hopefully someone is good with photo shop..




-Dan

Try the new Rushforth Night Trains. Great spin on the typical mesh design. Just different enough to stand out from the crowd but still keeps the mesh feel and look. I think they are really classy looking and would look great on almost any car.
Just my .02

Jason, I have a shot of the Night Train wheel but it is too big to load here. Do you have one you can post? Maybe even one with a black center like on the orange Mopar?

That'll be great if I can see a picture on a camaro. I found a couple online but they aren't on a camaro.

I like those Rated X but what are your opinions?

Picking a style of wheels are killing me.
