Hey guys. I was sent here from ElCaminoCentral.com. They said you guys would be more helpful so I'll throw something at you!
I have a 1984 El Camino (G-body) and it currently has a Grand National rear end with 3.73's. It is paired up with a Vette 383 with just over 600 HP and a built 40L6E transmission with a 3200 stall.
I bought a custom pair of 5 spoke iforged rims for my car... 19x8 front and 20x10 rear. They were for my 2007 vette (5x120 and +59 MM offset). With adapters I think I was going to be able to stuff 28/35/20's but I was hoping to fit 305's or 315's.
What would I have to do to take my 20x10 with the 2007 Z06 specs and fit it in there with no adapters? The car will be beat on every now and then but is mostly a show car, I have thought of cutting off the frame that supports the rear of the truck bed since nothing will EVER be back there.
My question is, what would be the best way to fit this rim in there with that meaty tire. The only reason why I don't want to spend the money to half back the car is because it will NEVER be at the track. I have shaved door handles and can't go, plus I refuse to put a roll cage in there so I'll just get kicked out anyways. haha
I have heard notching, mini tubing, tubular something... ect. I would like to be as price efficient as possible because racing is not that big of a deal to me. I am changing to after market suspension in the back if that makes a difference.
Also, I live in Fort Lauderdale Florida so if anyone on here lives down here and wants to maybe dig into this with me let me know.
