I have a 66' Impala wagon that I am putting on air ride, and upgrading the brakes all the way around to C6 Z06. I fell in love with the Summit branded 143 series wheels on their website. They are made by Vision wheels I beleive.

I'm looking for a good way to sort of build a mock up tire around the wheel. On this car I can probably fit two wheels in the rear wheel tubs, so clearance isn't really a concern.

I want to put something together in case I think the 18" wheel looks too small, I can return the wheel and get a set of 20s. I don't want to run the risk of damaging the wheel by putting an actual tire on

And lastly, it would be nice to mock up the front brakes and slide a wheel over them and see if the wheels look the way I want with the brakes behind them. As well as seeing a tire on there lol

Its not a track built car just a Power Tour machine

I'll let you know sometime this week. The brackets just arrived today and they are gorgeous. I have one front caliper and rotor arriving hopefully tomorrow so I will mock it up sometime this week. I purchased the wider wheel because the narrower ones were on backorder.

Any updates on the wheels fitting the brakes?
Thanks
