      70 chevelle - biggest tires - no mods - what's the combo?

      looking to get new rims.
      i have heard guys getting 305's on a stock chevelle.
      i am on a budget so no $500 a rim money here.
      i am thinking of running 18" rims, maybe 17" if i run out of money.
      what width rim, offset and backspace do i need?
      thanks

      Will these work? I bought these for my 70 Monte but the guy didn't like custom wheels and he wanted the rally's...YUK..
      These are brand new and there is a spare rear wheel with a small nick in it. I can get more pics if interested.

      John,
      Those photos look AWESOME. I like the side shot, from down low... that's a "DriverzInc angle" right there if I ever saw one. Can we use it for our website? If so email it to [email protected].

      Thanks dude!
