Again, not a camaro guy so not totally sure, but they're the preferred rim size here at our shop for the Mustangs. A little more on the "pro-touring" side than classic muscle car, but goddamn it's so much easier to find tires for them and they do a good job of eliminating excess wheel well space, giving the car that lowered look without actually being lowered.

Problem is, it had 17s on it. And the low profile look that was STILL getting rub.
And so if I put 17s on it and this suspension stuff DOESN'T fix the problem, I'm back to boned. I suspect with the suspension work, I can get the stance I want with 17s, but if I get a rub, all I can do is go back to low-profile and I really don't want that.
They weren't rubberbands on there by any means, but it was, as you noted, definitely a more pro touring look. I honestly can't remember the sidewall height now, but I know I wanted more rubber on there. And going to 17s isn't going to allow that in all probability (unless, I guess, i made the wheel more narrow and brought it inside the well more, which I wouldn't mind. Y'know...if the guy that runs the Classic Wheels store would actually have this conversation with me at some point....) |
