My '69 Chevelle ran this back in the day:

Yes to the M&H Cheater slicks 9.00-15 which are 29 1/2 " tall and fit real well and fill out the wheel well nicely (as can be seen below). Wheels could be steel wheels and could be 15" Vintique62 series. Jegs carries both.

This is how my car looked at the drag strips in VA and NC back in 60s early 70s. Notice beneath the car that the rear exhaust pipes are hanging off the lower bolt hole of the headers...

I probably would use a 15x7 with a 4 or 4 1/4 backspace. Should have plenty of room.

Mr. Day Two has spoken!!!

As luck would have it, the Vintique wheels listed here ( http://www.jegs.com/i/Wheel-Vintique...34044/10002/-1 ) are 15x7" and have a 4 1/4 backspace.

Thanks Grady!

I bought a pair of the repro steel wheels a few years back. I did not notice that the center hole is over sized on the repro until I mounted the tires and put them on the car. It did not look right to me.
