Codmandoo,

Great Lookin' Chevelles. What is the backspacing of your wheels on the 69? Also, do you have the tire sizes for front and rear? I have 18x8's & 18x9's on mine now, and am looking at getting a new larger set of Boze wheels and BFG KDW meats for my 69. I really like how your wheels tuck right under the wheel well. Thanks in advance...71471
