      My personal taste is 20's are too big for that body all around. I wouldn't do it but if I had to use 20s thet would be on thr rear with 18 or 19 front

      they do make the torq thrust m in an 18, but i'm not a huge fan of the staggered size look. i thought about a 19 in front, but they don't offer that wheel in 19

      are you going to narrow the frame? If so look up Jody with the killer TT 64 Malibu. He just switched wheels. I think his Torque Thrusts were 18 x 8 and 18 x 11 I'm sure he wants to get rid of them

      Here are 18's and 20's on a 65 Elco, it is to much of a PITA to get the 20's on the front. I would stagger it if you must have 20's.

      Im looking at doing 20's in the rear and 19's up front. I have a mini tub on the chevelle and I think I can get a 285 in the rear. We will see here very soon.

      I have 20's on a 67 malibu. Don't do it. I'm going to do a 19/20 combo when I get the money

      I have a suggestion. www.RushforthWheels.com A set of our 10 spoke Rated-X would look perfect on there in 19 and 20 and we have all the fitments and backspace specs.

      PM or email us for a quote.

      This is a members car here or Lat-g. It's an 18/20 combo with 285's on 20 x 10s (Im pretty sure). He has a mini-tub for the 285's and obviously air ride. Maybe he will chime in. I just think it's a great looking car. There are several sponsors here that can help you with your decision. Good Luck.

      Wheels for your Malibu

      The bonspeed "Malibu" looks great on the '65, we did a set for '64 Malibu at the Detroit Autorama.
