70 Chevelle on 18" Wheels - Thougts?

[RobLinke]

Thanks for the photoshop magic, Kevin! This gives me a MUCH better picture of what the car might look like in terms of wheel size and stance - now I just need to decide if Team III wheels w/ spacers are the way to go or go with something like the Boyd Vintage 5's with a brushed center. What do you guys think about brushed aluminum spokes with a polished hoop AND center cap on the Boyd's?

Chevelletiger - I understand how you might have gotten a negative vibe from Team III, as their wheels don't clear big brakes very wheel, but I actually had a very good conversation with the owner last week and we talked candidly about wheels & clearance without any negativity. He took the time to print out the Baer template and lay it into his wheel so we could talk about what kind of spacer we would have to run to make the wheel fit. Based on other postings about the customer service, I was pleasantly surprised with how helpful he was.

I've seen my name has popped up,I know I've commented on your proposed look on another forum,just do the research and be happy with your decision.

When you get ready to purchase,I'd recommend Jon @ www.driverzinc.com he's set up all my cars w/o issues and I'm sure he can do the same for you.

Thanks John - I've spent a lot of time picking through the forums looking over the threads on wheels for CM A-bodies and you're name comes up A LOT. I've spoken with Justin in the past and I'll likely go with Driverz, Inc. to supply the wheels - just need to decide if I should go with the Boyd Vintage 5's or the FiveHundred's. I'm holding off right now until I can see the set of FiveHundred's their painting up right now.

You might want to remind TwinCessna that the Jarvis Chevelle is far from stock suspension wise JIC he wants to try the same fitment.

I'm running 18 X 8 in the front and 18 X 9.5 in the rear on mine. It has Hotchkis Suspension and Baer 4-Wheel Disk Brakes. I believe the front backspacing was 4.5" and the rear was 5.5". The wheel wells are stock with no modifications.

Damn!! That is one beautiful chevelle.

Could you please tell me what brand 18 in Chevelle SS wheels you bought? I can’t find those 18 in wheels anywhere. Your Car looks great with them

I ended up with a 295” rear

Bit of room to go larger but
$$$$ honey.


Good luck !

[c4racer2]

I did the same on my non tubbed 71 Camaro. 18's with 295 rear and 275 front on 10" wheels with same bs on both ends.

I went with NT05 tires hoping to get decent grip and some level of hook with a 520hp 406.
How does the 700hp LSA do? What tires?
