This is probably what I'll end up with.

Do they barely fit width or height-wise in the rear? I'm aiming to either go with 18s, or stagger with 17 front, 18 rear, and a little less sidewall (maybe 50-55).

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

Mine, before 15x8 Buick GS rally wheels w/ black part painted silver and chevy decals on center caps...

after, c5 vette wheels; 17x8 front and 18x10 rears; needed 1 1/2" wide spacers/adapters to go from 5x5 to 5x4.75 and to space out due to width of wheels; had to "clearance" dropped spindles and lower A arms.

body work starting now as well as other "clean - ups" more to follow...

Looks great. Yes, with those wheels and tire combo, it will look like a pickup truck, not a race car.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

Hey anybody check out those new American Racing wheel designs by Max Grundy?? If so, what do you guys think?? I actually love the retro styling in a large billet wheel.. One design leans towards a 50s look, and the other leans to the 60s styling.. Just google it and check it out!

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

A lot of different ideas in here. Still hard to beat the look of a nice set of GM rally wheels. Here is mine, Appliance Tru-spoke fine wires. Late 70s/ early 80s vintage, with 3 cap spinners. Had them restored last year. 15x10s in the back and 15x8s in the front.

I personally like the torque thrusts. Awesome looking pickup either way!

I really like this look. Do you know what the backspacing is on the rear 9.5's?
