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
07-23-2008 #5Here 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.

07-24-2008 #6Im 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.

now thinking about 19/20 combo. any suggestions on wheel type and backspacing
08-18-2008 #10I 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.

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.

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