Need help on wheels for 67 chevy swb
I have almost decided on a 8in on front and 20x10 on back. I'm not sure what wheel on the front though, I want a wide wheel on back with a deep polished lip. I haven't decided on a wheel for the front yet, I may get a 18in but it depends, but I think with a 18 and 20 I could get that streetrod look and still get a new school look with the bigger wheels. I have had this truck since I was 16 and I'm just about 27 now. I think its time for different look and the 15's may need to come off. Now, back to the point, I have a 1967 chevy that was bought about 11 years ago and has the same paint and wheels and everything. Its been taken care of and 4 engines later the paint is still alright I guess because it was always indoors. I want to start on some new shoes for the old truck. I was to start showing it so I need theses wheels to tuck. What BS would I need on a 8in in front and possibly a 10in in back in order to tuck. I also know that I will most likely have to have a specially made wheel to get this size and to tuck them. I need help on this guys.

Re: Need help on wheels for 67 chevy swb
No offense (because I've gotten this same answer).... do a search. There's a ton of threads on tire size & backspacing, many with pics.
The only thing I would add is that there are 2 lengths of rear ends and I think our 67s are narrower. I could be wrong on this so you might want to double check. I put 1 inch spacers on the rear and the rally rims are still tucked in a bit (sorry, don't know the BS and all 4 rims are 8 inch with same BS). They now pretty much match the front in width/track.

Re: Need help on wheels for 67 chevy swb
Most of the time I'm on dial-up so that limits the searching. On dial-up its so slow you get on the computer to do what you need to do and get off it and even then you can be on for a hour. I just needed to get a quick answer, I will be in town tomorrow to look into a wheel that I like and then go from there. Yes, I believe you right on the rearend but I'm not sure what years are different either. I just know I have a rearend from a 72 chevy with the 4.10 gears or 4.11 whichever it is. I didn't know at the time which it was but it was 8 years and I just liked the 4 part...lol. Thanks for the help. I would guess that the 71 and 72 are the wider rearend. I pretty good on my 67 to 72 years. I like the 67 and 68 frontends better like how the hoods are more curved but the 67 doesn't have the side lights and the 72 is the first year for the rearview on the windsheild but even now I still learnd new things. Some people can even tell the older Chevys apart from the number of wood boards in the bed.
