My application is a street/strip 68 camaro, has 8 inch weld wheels, 12 bolt rear with studs. Engine is roughly 400 hp sbc, glide, 4.10 gears. I have a slight tire rub in the innermost part of the factory wheelhouse, only rubs when going over bumps.

Any advice and info is appreciated.

I run a 3/4 in spacer on a 15x12 Weld Alumastar with no problem. make sure you get the billet spacer not the cheap junk spacer. Ed
