67 chevelle wheel sizes

[GA350]

I think I have decided on 17x7's up front and 18x8's torq thrust cl205's on the rear of my chevelle. Do you guys have any opinions on this or what might be a better set up. Eventually I'll try to squeeze some 10 or 11's in the rear but right now I just want to make it look a little better. Also what tire sizes should work with this? The wider the better.

17 x 8 with 4.75" backspace up front 245/45/17 and 17 x 9.5 with 5.5" bs and 275/40/17 fit quite nicely on my 67 el camino without mods.

Look at the wheel database at the top of the page to see what sizes fit.

An 8" wheel fits with ease in the front. Actually, a 9" wheel fits okay if you nail the backspacing.

I am running an 8.5" wheel with 5.25" backspacing on the front of my '67 El Camino (245/35-19 tire). Wilwood brakes, stock control arms. 9.5" wheel with 4.5" backspacing on the rear (285/30-20 tire), but the rear end was narrowed 2"

On our DW Motorsports 67 Chevelle, we put Rushforth Wheel's 19x8's up front with a 4.75" backspace, and 20x10's in the back with a 6" backspace.

Do the 20x10's fit in the rear without modding anything or did it take a lot to get them to fit. Just asking because I'm limited on workspace right now and I'm just wanting to change the look of the car for so I can ride for a year or 2 and get ready to completely redo the car.

10" goes in with NO modifications. Call us, we can order the right backspace for you.
