      Need some Cheap rims to move car around

      Hey guys, I was wondering what you guys have used? I'm not ready to order rims yet, but I need to roll my 67 camaro around while I put it together. Does anyone know what rims will clear 14 in. Wilwood front rotors with 6 piston calipers? I was thinking maybe these would work, but I'm having a hard time find some used ones.

      Thanks,
      Tony

      Take the calipers off, and you can bet by with smaller wheels. I tried some cheap 18" wheels, and they didn't clear my calipers.

      Somebody spray painted the wheels orange, then silver. They are straight however. I have some other pairs of 18s, what are you looking for George?

      i have some bmw wheels that i used for rollers. newer 3 series. If you can find some wheels that are close use some spacers aka big nuts to shim the wheel out some.

      This may not help as I don't yet have 14" brakes but I bought 4 mini spares for my rolling chassis. They were like $15 each at a junkyard. I haven't looked into it yet but I'm lead to understand that some CTSes came with 18" spares that clear BBKs. After the build, they'll become skinnies for drag racing. Maybe something to consider...

      Edit: Skinnies with different (race) tires, of course.

      Edit- Ok, dumb idea- I didn't look at how the lug holes are sunk in on the alloys and how the dish is shaped on the steels.
      I guess you *could* put them on the normal way, with a 2" spacer?

      If it's literally just to move the car around the shop and on trailers, why not everyday-car (smaller) minispares of the same bolt pattern, installed reversed?

      Try Craigslist. I found a brand new pair of stock 2012 Camaro wheels, 18" so they clear my big breaks. The tires only had about 2,000 miles on them so, they were basically brand new. If I remember correctly, I only paid $175, or $200 for all 4. The guy just needed to get them out of his living room! Perfect rollers and they keep my expensive wheels out of harms way.
