Thank you. We are thrilled with the car so far. While a race car is never done, we feel like we have a solid start.

[RocketRacingWheels]

We made it to Columbus! Unloading our Camaro 4 1/2 weeks after turning it over to Big Oak Garage. These guys rock!

Thanks so much. Our Camaro currently running 18x10 and 275/35x18 on all 4 corners. Over the Winter, will be upping the size to 18x11 front and 18x12 with 315 & 335s.

Thanks again for your interest.

The '73 Rocket Camaro really exceeded our expectations this season. We made Shootouts at Good Guys Columbus, NSRA Louisville and this time, we made shootout at the Holley LS Fest East and finished 5th in the High Noon Shootout on Friday. .v7h0FcqWjCU

do you have a static photo of the Camaro? Still thinking about these wheels for a 68 Torino. I would like at least 305's on the back, 245 on the front.

Diameter? Not sure yet...

Really like the wheels, and Oh ya, the Camaro lol

Sorry, I missed your question. Here's a couple shots from earlier in the year. We have 18x10 on 4 corners now. We may change to 18x11, 18x12 over the winter.

[WSSix]

Car looks great guys. I'm glad you've had good results from the autocrosses.

[jarhead]

Just curious if you upped the wheel tire width?

What brand tires are you using?

Thanks!

BFG Rival S. The answer is yes and no. We are setting the car up to be able to run 18x12 with 6.00" backspacing on 335 tires on all 4 corners. We're also going to set it up to run 18x10 with 4.50" backspacing on the same 275 tires. This is so we can compete in Street Machine Class as well as Unlimited Class.

You’ve heard that saying, “Be careful what you ask for, You might just get it”. True story...When I dropped off the Rocket Camaro at Big Oak Garage, I told them that if it doesn’t make the car faster, take it off. <grin> Seriously, when you say that to a shop that has their skills, just stand back, watch and enjoy. You don’t want to miss this build. It’s going to be Epic! Stay tuned...

Dang! If the wide-body Rocket Camaro were a girl, you might say that she’s got the all the right curves in all the right places! Pretty amazing work by @bigoakgarage considering she’s squaring up on 335 BFG Rivals and 18x12 Rocket Attack Wheels at the corners. Stay tuned here for more updates!
