Can you fit 20 inch wheels on a 68 with stock suspension? Has anyone done it? If so, what was the wheel/tire size and backspacing?

pretty sure u cant do it. It will hit the fender wells. too wide for the drive thur!!!!!

Could you post a pic of what you have in mind? I am sure they will be too big. IMHO big rims like that have no buisness being on classic's. Just my opinion, it might look good, thats why I want to see a pic.

That to me would look like crap. To each to their own. 17" max for me.

68 and 69 camaros look sick with 20s!

i agree with skar, i would feel sick if i saw a 68 or a 69 with 20" wheels, thats one reason i wont buy the new camaro

This is the look I'm trying to achieve. Tell me it doesn't look good.

It looks ookaaayyy. Doesn't look fast. Classics should look fast. I don't care too much for trailer queens. Just my opinion.

OK, It doesn't look good,didn't in the first pic,and not the second. but they do look good with 18's if they keep the classic muscle look like some of the foose & Boyd wheels.

torque thrusts would look better (i think thats what there called) in 17" or 18"

I Don't like! I have torque thrusts II 17" If I had to do it all over I would stick wit 15" or 16' with raised white lettering.

I like the way your rims & tires lookSkar - i'm thinking of that look for mine.

UR RIGHT THEY LOOK HORRIBLE. Ghetto would be the proper wording.

I will have to lower the front end a inch or so. To big of a gap . And should havewent with a 9" rim on back with one size bigger tire . ( I have 255 35 17 I thinkon back would like to go with 275 40 17)
7 " rims on front 8 " on rear now.

so you put those on? i thought they came with it. how much did you spend?

those rims would look better if they were 16 or 17 inch, 20 inch rims look stupid on a camaro or any muscle car, thats what happens when you watch those ram music videos

$1560 out the door at discount tire.
Car came with 14" bias ply.

To me tires and rims are what make or brake on how cool the car looks.
Talk to Jerry at the commerce discount tire.
I may sell my rears and go to the 275 40 17 some day. To much other stuff to do right now.

Thanx - i'll do that, right now i'm torn btw going your route or going old school w/ some L60-14's out back.

all you guys are just old school... dog go wit da 20s thats what im putting on my 69.it look fly as heck:)

20" [:'(] Please dont park next to me.

Im going with budnik canon 20s then 19s on the front..this isnt the wheels,but i do like the new style,if its done acceptable....i mean i like my old convo pro 80s look,but,this car looks way better with big wheels imo...

call 941-921-race(Steve Keech)...he helps build the baldwin motion cars,he will know what will work for sure..tell him Tom Burnette told you to call(he has worked on mine too)....my car looks fine with all the tire showing,but with the right wheel the rim only showing in the front and half of the rear tire showing only is the look i like...

Car Craft technical article

i might have said it before, but i will say it again, blame rap music

All I can say is that going with those huge wheels makes it look like a diecast toy.

johnny good point

I have KMC 18's in front and 20's in back in the torque-thrust pattern.on my 67. turning is difficult and it is fast still, but i did loose a little on my 1/4 mile

I agree with most here....it DOESN'T look good. In fact, I'm looking to buy a 68' or 69', and everytime I see one with wheels like those in the pic...I say to myself, 'Damn, that means I'll have to buy new wheels." Seriously, I wouldn't drive a classic with those wheels. But like others have said...to each their own.

What you all think of something like this:

17 and 18" rims that look similar to the stock Rallye wheels.
