Hi,

I was just wondering, what are the biggest wheels that you can use on a stock 1969 camaro, no suspension changes


thanks

Width or diameter?
More info would be helpfull. 17" wheels or bigger sometimes look out of place if the car sits high. As a starting point an 8" wheel will work on the front and a 9.5" will work in the rear in 17" or larger diameter.

Jack is right,if the stance is wrong,a bigger wheel will have you too high up in the air.
If we're talking about diameter,common no-hassle sizes that will fit right out of the box are as follows:

Fronts:
17x8 (4.5" b/s) better would be 4.75" or even 4.875"
245/45-17's

Rears:
17x9.5 (5.5" b/s) w/275/40-17's

Now each car is different so you really need to measure.:yes:I am currently running a 18x10 rear (5.625" b/s) w/275/40-18's and I could have either run a slightly bigger tire or gone with just 5.5" b/s...I have that much more room to play with.
