I am looking to put crager S/S on my 69 camaro. The quarters and wheel house are not cut, so what size of rear wheel with what offset does everyone normally run? What looks better also, 14" or 15".

Theese are 15x8 in the back with 15x7 in the front. I have no problem with tire clearance.

Here is my questions. When are 8" wheels justified?

I mean a 255/60/15 isn't really big enough, maybe a 275/60/15 would be. So an L60 would also justify an 8" wheel, but I don't think they are used nearly that often when people put 8" wheels on out back.

Your car looks great John. What tires sizes are you running up front and back? The wider wheel dish is cool.

I have 245 60 15 on rear and 215 70 15 on the front before I put the cragars on I had 15x8 rallys on the rear and 15x7 rallys on the front with no wear problem on theese tires.

Wheelhop (Jim Hanke) wanted me to post Andrew MacTavish's rendering of what Jim's Chevelle will look like when it's done!

Olympic Gold under Dover white with a Stinger ? I don't think there is a better combo for a 69. or is that the 70 Corvette gold

Either way, that is very C L
