69 Camaro Rear wheel question
Building a 69 camaro for A/SA with moser 12 bolt , 5.13 gears. Wanted to ask the question - what rim size (size & back spacing) and tire size does everyone recommend? Thanks so much!

9" wide 5" backspace. 9x30 radial. That's what we have on Tabitha's 69.

Re: 69 Camaro Rear wheel question
I am running 10" wide with 4.5" backspace Welds on my 67 Firebird. As Robbie said, there is room for the 5" backspace.
I like the wider rim with the radials and bias. Good Luck. Ken Stock 412 |

Re: 69 Camaro Rear wheel question
A 9" wide rim will likely cause crowning. We have a 10" rim on Kevin's 427/425 69 Camaro. We won't be changing that for the 396/375.

Re: 69 Camaro Rear wheel question
Oh ok great, the 427/425 combo is what we will be running. Did you see a major difference between the radials vs bias ply with that combo?
