Just curious what you guys think of this wheel (17x8 & 17x9.5) on a white 67' I am thinking the near black paint will also add contrast to the 13" Baer brakes (to come at a later date)

Thanks HOT OHC

That wheel looks fantasic!! It would be a great addition to a white Camaro in my opinion. By the way, how did you post the picture on here. I can only post links? You'll need to post pics of the Camaro once the wheels are installed. Bill

Those are the same wheels I have been planning to use on my '68, but I was going to stick with the 8" wide front and back! They have the great looks of the classic Torque Thrusts but with a more modern size. What backspacing do you intend to use for both front and rear?

redlines4us- To post a pic you use the UBB code: [img] before your url and [img/] after it.

choptop- After reading all the posts about BS I am planing on going with 5.5 or 5.75.

Already put those wheels on my Christmas list for my 67' Camaro; hoping the wife is good to me. I'm putting 17x9.5 5.5 b.s. on rear and 17x7 3.34 b.s. on front. Rear tire size will be 275/40 drag radial, front 225/50 Nitto.
