Back Spacing for Camaro Stocker

Pistol Pete · 05-04-2008, 05:52 PM

Can someone tell me how much back spacing i would need for a 87 Camaro for the Rear, 9 inch tire
on a 8 inch rim with drum brakes???

Any special shocks for front & back that work the best....

Also, what front springs would work best...

Thanks for any input.

4.5" backspace will be perfect with 8" rim

4.5" works fine, but when I bolted 30 x 9 radials on my car [I normally run 29 x 9], the left side rubbed on the fender well when I put it in reverse. I would think 4.75" would be better for 30 x 9.
