I agree with you...the older camaros need a dished wheel. My dads got a 73 split bumper with centerlines but he likes the dragstars. I like the torque thrusts but everybody with an older muscle car has em...I would say chrome torque thrust Ms or either the Boyd smoothie 2s or the junk yard dog...thats just the style I like.

You did say a '72 Camaro, right? You might have some trouble getting a wheel with more than 5" of backspacing on the rear, unless you mini-tub. The area where the seat belt bolts go into the floor pan creates a fair sized "bump out" in the lower front of the rear wheel wells. It can be hammered flat, but it still is a limiting factor.

73 is the same as a 72 when it comes to length..
I already took care of that seat belt bump and I measured the wheel opening and BS and all and the space from the hub to the inner wheelwell is 6.25 on both sides..
