[Chevelle-list] First tire/wheel thread of the New Year!

[Dale]

I think the Outlaw I would work if you don't go overboard on the tire size.
I'd guess that any one-piece 15x8 wheel would have the same, or close,
offset/backspacing due to mass production.  You'd almost have to go with a
2-piece custom offset wheel to get the specs you desire.  Do you have an
idea of what your tire choice requires in the way of offset/backspacing?

That is a great explanation Dale. Luckily I understand all of that.  
What I am really asking is whether or not there is a 15" wheel out  
there that looks like the Centerline Autodrag or American Racing  
"Outlaw I" that will fit a 1970 Chevelle and is economically priced.

It's too bad the American Racing wheels won't fit. There are two  
stores in my neighborhood that are authorized dealers and that is the  
look I want and a price I would like to pay, and I wouldn't have to  
have them shipped.

I guess if I were to change course I could go w/ the American Racing  
Ansen Sprint (Series A69) wheels. They are available with the right  
bolt pattern and zero offset. That's basically what I have on my El  
Camino though, so I was looking for something different.
