Will 9.5 wide CCW's fit on my 68 camaro?
 
HEy everyone, I have a set of CCw's sp500s that are on my 99 trans am.. But i thought bought putting them on my 68 camaro.. They are 18 x 9.5s up front and 19 x11s out back... I know if i mini tube my 68 camaro the rears will fit nicely.. But the issue is the front wheels .. im positive they will rub when i turn... but i have seen wider wheels on the fronts of first gens.. So how do they get these wheels to fit? thanks

4th gen Camaro/Firebird wheels have pretty much the same offset/backspacing as a front wheel drive car, which, unfortunately, makes them all wrong for a first gen car. The only way to use them is with really big wheel spacers, which I wouldn't recommend.

When my 1972 Camaro was up in the air, I decided to try to fit it with stock wheels off of my 2000 Camaro. They wouldn't even come close, front or rear, without like 4 inch spacers. I don't see them working on it, sorry man!
