I've got a '67 El Camino, and I am running a 19"/20" combo. 19 X 8.5 front (245/35-19, with 5.25" backspace), 20 X 9.5 rear (285/30-20, with 4.5" backspace). I have Wilwood brakes at all 4 corners, and I have narrowed the rear end 1" per side. No body/fender well mods.

Front: 18x9 with 5"BS and 255/35-18.
Back: 18x10 with 5.5BS and 285/35-18.

Nothing has been customized, just bolted on the wheels.

Not wide enough but I will go bigger later. These are 18 x 7 and 18 x 8 225/45's and 255/45's. IMO 18's look the best on the 64-67 abodys

All you guys running a rear 10" rim with a 295 tire,how much clearance would you say you have on each side?

Thanks

[Alex396ss]

I´ve got a 285 on a 10" and theres no problem at all, maybe ½" at both sides.

I got about 1/4 give or take on each side with a 10" rim and a 295 tire backspacing on the rim is 5.75

Thanks
