Re: 65 Chevelle day 2 wheels and tires
When I got my car, it had a 1970 Chevelle 10 bolt posi rear that I quickly snapped the pinion off of due to wheel hop. I located a 12 bolt form another 1970 Chevelle and that rear has been in ever since. I do have a correct rear, but what I have works for now. I just needed to mention that as my set-up is probably not a great reference on fitment.
This is a pair of 15" SST I traded a set of 14" Cragar SS for. Looking back, the 14" SS were better looking.
Here is a group of other cars just for reference:
Hopefully you've got some fiends to borrow wheels from to figure it out. I would probably recommend just trying to find a set of wheels you like for the front and leaving the back in black.
I have a few sets of Spyders I've been meaning to mount some rubber on and see how they would look. not sure if I would run just two up front, or all around.
One wheel that I bought just for the sake of running on the front is the early non-chrome Keystone's
I also picked up a set of the Parnellie Jones wheels. The ones I got are 15x6 which is kinda cool since I have a preference for 15" wheels for no good reason. Not sure if i want to run all 4, or just two up front.
They don't look bad with some slicks mounted on them either.
Kinda reminds me of the rouge wheel above.
