I've got a '68 camaro in need of some new wheels and tires. I like the look of the firebird wheels, but i don't know if they'll fit. does anyone know what the backspacing is on these wheels. I know stock rally rims were 14x7 with 3 3/4" back spacing. any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

does anyone know the stock backspacing for the Firebird wheels?

 

A 4th Gen Firebird or Camaro wheel, from a V8 model will be 16x8.0" with a 55mm offset, which works out to about a 6-5/8" backspace. There were also some WS6/SS wheels that are 17x9.0" with a 50mm offset/shade under 7.0" backspace. As you can see the backspace is so large, they will need spacer/adapters to work on earlier models.

The 4th Gen wheels also have a 5x4.75" bolt pattern.
