1968 Camaro 335/30x18 with DSE stuff??

[sperger1]

I have a 68 Camaro and just installed DSE tubs, quad and subframe connectors, but the 335 G force look like they will fit with the correct backspacing. Is there a thread out here that explains this?

Each installation is a little different. In my opinion, its not worth it, because you can't fit a big enough tire in the front to justify it, unless it is for looks only.

We do 335s on 67 / 68s in our shop al the time, look at MotiV8r. But we know how to put the tubs in deep. Yours are installed relaxed. You need 14.5" to 14.75" to clear 335s on 12s. As Chris mentioned, 325s on a 11" rim are a nice fit but there are no 325 / 18s.

Frank said in this thread that if you put the tubs in deep, 335 will fit. What needs to be added and what backspacing?

Thanks Ken. I plan on using a dse front subframe too, but may wait and run the factory subframe. But can we get Baer brakes on the factory subframe and then change them to fit the DSE frame? I have the ford 9 from DSE with the Baer 6P brakes on the rear. I am just trying to get the tubs finished so we can get the wheels. I have purcahsed the 335s to see about fit, but it is tight. We have not finished welding the tubs yet, we also have to put the new rearend under the car and weld the final fitment.

And Yes, like most of us out here we like teh looks and the increase in traction. Probably mostly looks with most of us.

Thanks. I am torn if I want to rehab the stock subframe or just purchase DSE. I have Barr 6p on a DSE Ford 9. The stock subframe has discs already but not Barr

Your welcome to call and discuss the virtures of moding your stock frame and going aftermarket.

Here are a couple 67 / 68s we have done with 335s

Thanks Frank, I will try and call tomorrow. Want to get this thing on the road? Also, wanted to know more on the 540 horse LS3 you have

Here is a pic of my 67 with 335 and leafs. It needs to be lowered but they will fit.

We fitted the new dse Moser narrowed 9 inch and DSE Quadralink yesterday and set the 335s under the car for looks. The look is awesome. Once I talk to a few of the people on the forum about the backspacing, I can order wheels and send a few pics. I have some pics but Icannot get them any smaller to post on the forum. We have the 15" Welds under the car on the narrowed rear, will look much better with the new wheel and tires. Just need to pick out a wheel. looks like all of the wheels that fit over Baer 6P brakes and hold 335/30/18 are expensive.
