G Body El Camino Restomod: Wheel Fitment and How to Center Rear End 

Thanks for documenting in the detail you did. You helped me find the right offset for me and i actually used the same wheels as you just in gray.

I like the blended continuity. With the black lower and chrome trim, the black centers and chrome ring looks right at home.

Good looking ride I dig the black wheels it goes with the paint nice

Looking good Josh! The wheels are a perfect contrast to your paint.

Yea I have that problem now I thought the body was off now I believe the Rearend is off it’s more to the driver side than the passenger side I have to go back and use this as a reference so I won’t screw up adjusting it but this is what I was lookin for

Had those on my Elco before. Nice car and wheels

That's one BadAss ElCo with a SuperCharged Motor will be a lot of fun to drive! You might also want to mention that your ElCo already has the frame notched.

Nice work. I’m going with 18’s on my 82 El Camino, but I going 245/40/18’s all the way around. Gonna also lower the stance and upgrade to the Aldan American coil springs.

I think the black wheels look really good with the paint job!

Yea I want th same setup kinda…. I want 18x5 front 18x9.5/10 rear… Dope G body🔥🔥🔥

Damn it’s beautiful Great built

I like your build . High quality .

So, I have been trying to find something on how to center my rear end on my Malibu, and this video nails it. Mine sits further to the driver's side and my tire will rub. Oh, and the wheels look perfect

Those black wheels look awesome man.

Great choice of rims, they look great and so does the ride height. The rear should be centered to the centerline of the car and a triangulated rear control arm should have both pairs of arms at the same length. What is the point in sweeping the clearance tool with the front suspension at full droop?

Looking good

wheels and tires look great with the paint scheme, stance is right on. 18x 8, 4.5bs and 18 x10 ,5 bs.

Looks great

Hey man, love the build and appreciate the detailed video. I’ve actually been looking at this exact staggered set of wheels for my 85’ camino for awhile now just wondering about the fitment with stock suspension (will be re-doing everything asap) and what minimum modifications need to be done considering my situation? Also are these the +0 offset spec? Thanks again

Don’t remember if you did a frame notch did you have notch the back? 🔥 set up

Very good video and looks nice! What backspace did you end up going in the rear? Front was 4.5" right?

@ 5:00 it appears that the rear frame rails have been notched. At 5:25 it looks like the frame steps in at the rear. That would allow a much wider tire/wheel combination over stock. Please confirm my observations as I have the same G body. Thank you

I’m late but those wheels are badass! I want to put the same on my 1984 Hurst Olds. The front wheels are 18x8 correct?

How much did you lower the front and back of the car? I’ve got the front of my gbody Monte Carlo lowered 3” with 17” wheels in the front but I’m trying to lower the back with 18” wheels. Thanks

You think a 10 wide wheel in the rear with 4.5 backspacing fit?

How is you rear wheel to quarter gaps after you centered rear did it cock it any?
