    Default Need your opinion

    My boss just recieved a new set of wheels for his '68 Camaro but in order to put them on we have to fully back half the car (it is mini tubbed right now) and stretch the rear quarter panels and if you are off on the measurments on the quarters the car will look horrible. Here are some pictures of the wheels that will go on it now with the mini tubs and the pictures of the new wheel and tire for a back halfed car. Give me your opinion on what you like. Oh yeah the wheel on the car now is 10 inches wide and the new ones are 15 inches wide.

    Well we got off the phone with the engine builder eailer this moring and the motor that will be in this car is going to be over a 540ci and producing close to 1100hp off the bottle. This is the reason why tubbing the car came into play.
