New shoes for the 69 Camaro

It was driving me crazy what to go with on a near stock car that will look right and not be the same as every other car out there. Settled on E/T's version of a 17" Minilite. I am VERY happy with it. 17 x 8 and 17 x 9.5 with 245-45-17 / 285-40-17

Couple pics on the way to a car show today. Nose needs to come down about 1-1.5" and it will sit just right.

Looks good! Hard to make a 69 Camero look different. Those wheels set it off nicely.

I know a bit of time has passed since you posted your upgrade, but I just ran across it. I really like the combination a lot. Good choice.

Thanks. I had it a Goodguys a couple weeks ago and had a lot of compliments on the wheel combo. Still very pleased with my selection.
