Default Wheel Fitment Question

Hi Guys,

Will a 15x7 inch wheel with a backspacing between 3 1/4 inch and 3 1/8 inch fit on a stock '69 Camaro with front disc brakes? The bolt pattern will work but I'm concerned with the caliper clearance.

Many thanks,
Dan

Your caliper is probably fine but your fender lip won't be happy with that shallow of a 7" wheel on the front with any kind of tire. That's an inch outboard of YH's.

Good info, thanks.
Whats the offset of a YH? Whats an ideal front offset for a '69 Camaro?
