Hey guys I have a question if this will fit a stock 69' camaro.
The link is this ebay auction.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-17x8-17x9-1969-CAMARO-WHEELS-RIMS-67-68-69-70-71_W0QQitemZ190377499806QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_ Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2c53621c9e

17x8 = 4.5" BACKSPACING

17x9 = 5" BACKSPACING

I asked the guy what size tire he is running in the picture in the rear; he said 295/45/17.

1)would those wheels and tires fit on a stock suspension car? the car in the pic looks like it has a 4-link. has anybody else ran a 295 tire in the rear?? I was thinking 275 is a safer bet. (stock leafs and stock springs...for now :))
2)my car is a 69' camaro w/ a 67' 12-bolt. I heard they are a little bit narrower? what issues would this cause?

i think you will be fine te BS seems pretty stock for the car and the tire should fit with the lip rolled

I bought a set of those because I needed something real cheap for an 81 Camaro I bought. I was surprised how nice they looked for the money. I bought them from another dealer, but look to be the same wheel. Mine say REV Wheel on the caps.

Front will be tight with that b/s but will fit,I'd suggest a 245/45 front tire max...and remove the center fender bolt to gain a bit more clearance,that's usually where they'll rub w/4.5" b/s on a 8" wide wheel.

I can barely squeeze a 285/40 rear on a 9.5" wide wheel so I'd give up the 295 idea and run a 275/40 on that 9" wheel,much better fit.
