[Chevelle-list] 64 Chevelle tire & wheel question

[Mike Holleman]

Dan, I'm not sure on BS, someone will have that info. But you need to go with 15's if you are going to disc brakes upfront.  Also you can go as wide as eight inch with no problem.  My best guess on BS for a 15 x 7 would be 4".

  Subject: [Chevelle-list] 64 Chevelle tire & wheel question






  I am hoping to get the body done and painted this summer.  I am going to put some wheels on it when it gets done.  I am debating on keeping 14" or upgrading to 15" wheels.  I do not care for the big wheel craze so 15's are as big as I would consider.  What backspacing is proper for the 64 in stock configuration?  I would probably stay with 6" wide wheels.  How wide of a tire can I put in the rear wheel wells?  I am also planning on installing front disc, will the factory front disc brakes fit under aftermarket 14" wheels?  I am thinking about either Weld draglite's, dragstars or American torq thrusts unless someone has any other ideas of what would look good on a 64.

  Thanks for the help
