[Chevelle-list] Wheels & tires
Does anyone need or want to buy a set of four Centerline billet wheels and BFG tires? Sizes are 15 x 8 (4" backspace) with two 245/60-15 and two 255/60-15 tires. The tires are in fair/ok condition and could be used for a while if need be. I can send pictures to anyone interested. Price you ask? Make me an offer.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Wheels/Tires (Again!)
Yeah, I was able to find lots of info on Team Chevelle. It just seemed no one running a 315 tire was going as low as I am. My only problem with waiting is that I don't have wheels that will fit over my new brakes. I'm going to need to take the frame to the body shop for test fitting pretty soon. I suppose I could take the caliper off the fronts and might be able to squeeze the 15" rally's back on? I should probably just be patient and wait as you suggest. Thanks.

Just my opinion but I would not order any wheels until you have the body back on the frame and the ride height set where you want it. 17x11's with a 315 tire are going to be a very snug fit under the best of circumstances and there's no sense pushing your luck.

Sorry, I know we've been over this many times and I've looked at the archives again and searched Team Chevelle, but I'm still unsure the wheel/tire combo I want will work. For one, the body is currently off the frame and the car is going to be pretty low. Here's what I have: 69 Chevelle Coupe GW Uppers and lowers up front w/Baer 13" Discs and tall spindles 2 inch drop springs up front Moser 12 bolt rear w/3 inch drop springs Total of 3 inch drop on all corners So here's what I'm thinking: front: 17 X 9.5 w/5.75" bs and 275/40s rear: 17 X 11 w/6" bs and 315/35s I installed the rearend yesterday and measured as best I could without brakes installed. I looks like 6 inch back space would work fine. I'm considering more. Maybe 6 1/8 or ??? Any and all comments are appreciated. Some reassurance for this setup would make me feel better before spend the $$$ and ordering the wheels! Thanks! Matt
