I have a 67 Fastback Impala.
I'm currently running C6 corvette rims with adapters. 19x10 in rear 18x8 in the front with no rubbing at all.
I'm switching to 20x10 in the rear and 20x8.5 int the front eventually.
If you pm me your email, I can send you a few pics...I haven't posted pics here as I do not have a photobuckt acct.

Here's a link to the baddest 66 of all time and it's running 19s and 20s which look and fit nicely. http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0707phr_1966_chevy_biscayne/index.html
Although, it's no help on the backspacing, gives you a good idea of diameters proportions.

I would really suggest going 19/20s if you can. The tire availability is a little friendlier. Outside the 345/35/19 Bridgestone, and the shorter 335/30/19 Nitto, there isn't much out there that has matching tread for the fronts in 18s. However there is much more to choose from in a 19 front with 20 rear that match.
