I have the Kore3 C6 Z51 brake upgrade on my 1964 El Camino with 340MM disks on the front and am looking for a set of 18 inch wheels that won't break the bank . I have 1000 bucks at most in my budget for the wheels and am struggling to find a set of wheels that I like with the correct backspacing . I need an 18x8 or 8.5 with 5.25-5.5 inch backspacing for the front and a 18x9.5 with 5.75-6.0 inch backspacing for the rear . Anyone running a similar setup ?

You can put on Corvette front wheels 18 X 8.5 & use Hubcentric adapters.
Just a thought anyways.

I ran TSW wheels on my 69 Chevelle with the same brakes as you. They're pretty cheap, but you'll have to get the bolt pattern altered. Might need to run small spacers to get correct backspacing, but it's still an affordable set of wheels.

here's some 17s that should clear. they're over your budget by a little, but you'd more than make up for it on tires. they're lightweight too. http://ctw-motorsports.com/big-brakes/

The Boss 338 wheels would bolt straight up to your car, clear your brakes, and fit into your budget.

I'm pretty sure that with your '64 Elco you would be limited to the 18x8's. The 18x9.5's only have 5" of back spacing.

Unfortunately these would not fit in the back as the wheel and tire tuck up into the fender well .

Yeah I looked at these as well and the 18X8 wheel doesn't really have enough backspacing for what I need .

I am wondering if the Vision 142 series 5 spokes would fit over the brakes . I like the more traditional look of 5 spokes and they offer them in backspacing that would work on my car . Just hate to order the wheels and have them not fit .

I have the vision 5 spokes on my car and they clear my c6 z06 brakes so they should clear your z51 brakes perfectly. The only thing I had to do was install a valve stem backwards in the center hole (they come with two valve stem holes) otherwise it would hit my calipers.
