[Chevelle-list] 1965 Chevelle 15" Wheels & Covers?

[Dennis.McGillis at mcgilliscompany.com]

Thanks Dale,
Maybe an Impala SS 15" wheel and cover is the answer.
That is the way I have always removed heater hoses and this one is so tight I am hoping to find a better way. 
Thanks,
Dennis McGillis, 1965 Malibu SS-350

  Available?  Yes in the aftermarket, no from Chevrolet.  Tire sizes for 1965 Chevelles included 6.95x14, 7.35x14 and 7.75x14.  The full size car had 15-inch wheels (15x5 or 15x5.5 for police cars) in 65 according to my parts book. There was also a 3-bar spinner wheel cover available on the full size SS.

  The best way to remove old heater hose, in my opinion, is to (1) loosen/remove clamp then (2) with a box cutter type knife, slit the hose lengthwise while it's on the heater core bung.  Slitting the hose also makes it easier to remove from the fittings on the intake and/or water pump as well.

    Hi Guys,

       1. Was there a 15" wheel available for 1965 Chevelles?  

       2. If so, was there a 15" wheel cover for it?

       3. You knew this was coming: If so, does anyone know where to buy them?

    Thanks,

    Dennis McGillis
