Re: [Chevelle-list] Survey on Wheels

[Clint Hooper]

66-67's don't have as large a wheelwell as the 68-72's. That being said,you can still easily run a 17x8 front w/4.5-5" backspacing and a rear 17x9.5 w/5.5" backspacing. My guess is you could fit up to a 255/40/17 on the front and definitely a 275/40/17 or 275/50/17 on the rear,,maybe even a 285/40/17. 17's and 18's are pretty much the change as far as rim widths,backspacings,and tire widths.

I want to run the widest tires on the back I possibley can without making the car look silly. I am curious as to what size tires, wheels and backspacing everyone is running.                                                    Thanks Matt No virus found in this incoming message.
