I recently bought a set of c6 wheels that came off of the car after about 50 miles, they are in perfect condition. I want to put these on my '65. Does anyone know if this is possible??

The fronts are 18x8.5 and I planned on running maybe a 265/35/18?
The rears are 19x10 and I planned on running maybe a 275/30/19?

I'm not sure what the offsets of these wheels are, whatever stock is I guess. Let me know if you guys have any thoughts on this..

You would definitely need spacers to run those wheels on a 65. Even so,an 8.5" width on the front and 10" width on the rear would be very difficult to fit on a 64-65 A-body. An 8" front and 9.5" rear is as big as I've seen squeezed under those cars.

I plan on narrowing the frame in the rear to accomodate the large wheel widths so it shouldn't be a problem at all. Ive been kicking around the idea of using the Chassisworks stuff, does anyone have any input on this? Quality stuff or should I look at other options??

As far as the front, we will have to make a decision once I get them mocked up under the car to see what needs to be done there... We should be able to figure something out I'm sure. All I need now is some tires so I can fit these things under the car.... :twothumbs
