Cheap roller wheel options?

[71maroesteban]

My 1969 camaro is getting close from being just a shell to a roller. However I don’t have wheels big enough the clear the Wilwood 6 piston and rear 4 piston. Does anyone have and good recommendations for cheap rollers? I don’t want to order my wheels yet since the car has no motor and trans and I want it fully assembled before I do that.

Can you just remove the calipers and use what you have?
Sometimes you can find C5+ Corvette or Gen 5+ Camaro wheels for a good price on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace.

Would my 15 inch wheels clear the rotors?

[John McIntire]

Dale has a good suggestion. I've seen some take offs on FB Marketplace for really cheap.
I bought GTO spare donuts off eBay for mine. I don't have brakes on mine yet, but they work well.

I've seen guy buy black steel winter rims ,cut the centers out and set the offset to suit their needs then reweld

Stock 2nd gen and 3rd gen wheels wheels are cheap.

Also, like mentioned, take off the calipers and/or rotors and throw whatever you have on.

I have the same wilwood set up 6/4 on my '68 Camaro. Had no issues running my old 15" wheels in the rear at all - cleared with calipers on. Had to remove calipers in the front tho. Clears rotors no prob.

No brakes on my roller yet, but I used 3/4" plywood to make 'wagon' wheels. Hammered a nail in the middle, used a piece of string to draw my circle, and used a random wheel spacer in my tool box as the template for stud spacing and hub opening. I've had no problems moving the car around in the garage with the drivetrain in it.175887
