Sold my draglites back in Dec on a wim. Had to find something new. The 10% of Summit deal saved me over a grand from the local chain and that even included new exhaust for my 69 Camro :wacko:

Anyways:

Front:
18x8 4.5 BS 245/40/18 Nitto NT555

Rear:
18x10 5.5 BS 295/45/18 Nitto NT 555

Still have a draglite setup for the track. Now I got to get the brakes working right......

One last thing. Billet specialties lugnuts are the same as Cragars, but much less money.....

No rubbing and no rolled lips. I haven't driven it much yet though. My car does sit a bit tall so I don't expect any issue. Space on both sides. A couple other guys have a very similar setup on their 68s.

Great lookin' wheels, Jeff. :thumbsup:

Thanks,
