14" Wheels for 1968 Camaro with front disc brakes

[tom406]

Hi Rob,
The XF wheels are hard to find-and they’re somewhat unique looking based on their offset. If you don’t need 1968 date codes, you might find some later ones from a disc brake equipped, non SS Nova (like the set shown in a posting here a week or two ago). Otherwise, you do have good 14” options from GM cars from 1969 onward when disc brakes became common and/or standard equipment. You could run XG 14x6 Rally wheels under your full covers, which would functionally be the same as they’re the same backspace/offset as the XF’s with 0.50” positive offset, which I think is the same as 3.5” of backspacing. This is probably the cheapest and easiest way to get era-correct wheels with the right “look” as far as how the tire looks on the wheel and in the wheelwell of the car. It looks like 1971/72 Camaros had an AM coded 14x6 wheel with the same specs as the XG. The 1973/74 Camaross had an EL coded 14x6 wheel also with similar specs.
