Day 2 wheel combos on a Chevelle?

[Sean]

Guys what are some Day 2 wheel combos on a 69 Chevelle? I was thinking torque thrusts, Daisy's? Cragers look sweet but want to do something different. I have found a few vintage sets. Plan on having slicks on her as well.

Different,how bout these..

Cragar S/S they work on everything

Don't forget steel wheels out back. Very common in the day (made the dollar stretch) and gives it a tuff look.

[cheveslakr]

I seriously considered chrome steelies out back and torque thrusts in front. I think it's still in the front running but for now, Keystones all the way around.

Any day-2 wheel choices on a 1969 Chevelle ought to include Torque Thrusts...

[L78M22Rag]

My personal favourite day-2 wheels on a 1969 Chevelle are aluminum slots like these Ansen Sprints... 15x8 on the back and 15x7 on the front.

Then again, no Day-2 wheel conversation would be complete without including Cragars!

Not a Chevelle, but thats what I have for my Nova

----I have a set of early Torque Thrusts 14x7 on 4-3/4. The best set I have had in a long time. Complete with new lugs and new correct hole center caps. The beads are polished and the center is painted with Corvette KO paint. Nearly perfect for $800.00 if you are interested. Will bring them to MCACN in Nov. otherwise or deliver them there. Can send pics!....Bill S

Sean,

You know my vote is for Torque Thrusts!

I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t throw in a vote for something slightly different. I’m feeling American S200 Daisies because I don’t see enough of them in the world and to be frank . . . I’m Torque Thrust’ed out lately.

Again, while not a Chevelle.................200S's on my Trans Am

Steel or chrome reverse out back...Cragars in the front.

Also need to add that the 'stance' is as important as the wheels...when you nail the stance and the wheel/tire selection...then you really have it.

These looked killer on “Red Alert”!

[Dave Castine]

Are 15x8 Corvette Ralley's not a day II mod? Always loved those wheels on A-Body cars. Cragars would be my 2nd choice.

[Sean]

I am thinking 200s or Torque thrusts. Found a cool set of Stahl headers old school!

[MosportGreen66]

Not a Chevelle, but thats what I have for my Nova

That thing is perfect. Congrats!

Looks dynamite, Mike! I've got a '71 black nova SS350. What brand and size tires front & back? What size rear wheels, and backspace on rear wheels?

[L78M22Rag]

Sean, let's see the Chevelle that you're sizing up for new shoes...

[Sean]

Right now its in 1000 pieces. Frame is being repaired on the back where the springs are located. Seems someone was trying to jump it LOL and came down hard and it cracked the spring pocket. Full up resto on it. Numbers l78 car but going to day II it some.

Thanks guys, Tire sizes are : rear MH 9.0/15 cheater slick, and front are 6.70-15 firestones from coker. Wheels are 15x7 wheel vintique chrome steel rear 4.25 backspace and front are 15x5 torque thrust.

I am with Helmut. I like the Ansens. I have 8.5” x 15” on my car.

[cheveslakr]

As much as I like slots, the 15x8.5s just don't play well on a '69. The red car looks like it's wheelhouses were pooched out a tad.

[sixt9rsx33]

Yes some massaging has taken place. When I restore this car the 8.5” wheels will not fit.
