15x10

[fillpot]

Hey guy's going to be minitubbing my 69 camaro soon and was going to run a15x10 or so wheel with like a 295/50/15 tire for the time being,so I was wondering about backspacing any idea about this,also i'll be using stock width axle and a DSE minitubb kit.THANKS!

Using a 10 bolt diff. from a 67 nova, I ran a 15x10 with 5" bs rally wheel on the back of my 69. It has been a while since I owned the car, but it I remember correctly the early nova diff. was 4" narrower. I built my own tubs and ended up with 1.5" clearance on each side of the 295/50/15. The car sat low and the wheels tucked pretty good. If my memory is correct, you will be looking for a 15x10 with 7" bs after installing the dse mini tubs. Please don't take my word for it and measure before you order!
Also,
What rear suspension are you running?
What wheel are you looking to run?
Hope this helps so far.:D

on a 10" weel a 6.5 backspace works perfect.

Here are some pics of some production welds, 15 X 10 with 29X14.5 tires

Frank.
Is that the car your converting over to the G-Link?

[ProdigyCustoms]

Yes it is. Just trying to decide what order I am doing it in. The car is pretty fast. To be honest I am not really sure how fast. It is a grudge race car (money taker) I built 11 years ago. It is a pump gas 404CI motor that fooled a lot of people especialy 11 years ago, we were way ahead of the curve on pump gas and stole a lot of money from 14:1 big blocks, LOL! With the score boards on, on a medium shot of giggle juice, it has posted 9.40s at 142MPH which is going through the traps at 6600RPMs. But when I used to grudge race it for money and load it for bear, with no score boards, it went through the traps at 7400 which is over 150MPH, which is knocking on the 8 second door. So it is a nasty little bitch! It also has done the Run Through the Hills 45 mile Tour Through the Hills twice and ran with the Pro Touring cars, so it is super reliable too, just frightening in corners.

I still want to drag race it a lot and want to see how fast I can keep it and make it handle and cruise the highway in overdrive at the same time. Ultimatly I will be doing a front and rear suspension, big brakes, and you won't belive this, some FORGELINES and WILWOOD brakes, who would have thought! LOL!

It is going to slow down but I am hoping if I load it for bear it will run 9.50s on the new suspension. I want to do this step by step and see what change hurts the most.I just need to decide what order to do the conversion. I may do transmission first. Make a pass, do the rear suspension, make a pass, etc. I can do those things in short time. When I cut out the stock subframe and install a new one, it's going to get ugly and the car will be down for a while.

Here is a little video of me racing a low 8 second alcohol injected 1471 blown big block a friend owns. most likely the fastest it ever went. I had him, I was so damn close. There were no score boards on, but if you stop watch my start and his win light (since we went throgh together) it is 9 flat which is freaking humping for a little pee wee motor.
