El camino rear widebody& raised rear quarters

It looks like you are going to need some wider rims and tires to fill up that rear wheel well.

Considering a new version of the old mini lite wheels, between 11" & 13" width out back.

Just won't be able to afford any for a while.😢

IMO an old retro style wheel will look out of place on there with your new Camaro front end and a new Corvette rear the only retro part is your quarter panels.
I think a modern style wheel similar to something like this would work well but that is me.

I was thinking the same thing with the need a big meats, I think both of those wheels would look pretty good under there

Getting photoshop pics done on wheels. Recently considered the mini lite style, partially cuz of light weight & decent price and another well known off one ride using them.Mesh style wheels are just too overused these days for me, even soccer mom mini vans got em now.
BUT, got plenty of time to decide , waiting on wife's new business to catch up before I can have my own money again.
Some 335 rear tires will definitely bring the old home chopped on vehicle to higher standards, but it's all about how much I can spend. Can't make my own wheels & tires.
Could end up with billet hub centric spacers for a while.

Here are some modern mini lites, post #766.

I think the C7 Grand Sport wheels look pretty good on the build. View from my desk at work:

Got one new inner sail panel part shaped & welded in today, fit up to the rear glass for a no trim fit.Then I realized the reason for these stupid little screw on plates the factory does is to remove & install the curved glass. Oh well, I can make the other side look the same, but with a small seam where it can R&R to change glass.

Started making templates to make an aluminum spoiler to fit over the vette rear & attach to old cut down aluminum bedcover.

Also made templates for rear visor. Wife suggested I round off the side so it doesn't look added on, but doesn't look right. I'll do a little roundover to the traditional visor shape where it meets the sailpanel.

This is a photoshop of mini lite wheels with red centers. Thinking all polished shiny black may look good.
