Has anyone put together a chart that takes into account all the requirements when fitting after market rear wheels?
Right now I'm trying to determine if the wheels I want to run will fit and how much I need to narrow my axle.
Pretty much if you know your wheel size in regards to width, offset/backspacing, diameter and factory or mini tub shouldn't be able to figure this out?
For example:
My wheel width is 11 inches so from the sticky video we +1 to determine the edge to edge.
Offset is +25mm which means +.98 inches from center so back space is 6.98
Stock first gen camaro factory rear axle is 60 1/4 + (brake bracket mounting)
I think all thats left is to determine how much positive space if available in the wheel well after the factory axle and brake mount, then any amount over 5.02 (the remaining wheel size minus the back spacing) will need to be subtracted from the axle.
I think if we could also determine how much additional space you get with rolling your fenders we could calculate that in also as option. I could build all this info into an Excel sheet and post it and it should be able to help everyone out when figure out your axle size dependent on wheel.
Thoughts?
