      roller rims for chassis setup

      Allright guys I need some help, I need to find some super cheap rims so I can roll my chassis around the shop with all the suspension on it. now the trick is I need wheels that will clear 13 wilwoods on a 72 Chevelle frame....

      I don't need anything that looks good just something to roll around on since the body is off the frame and I'm not buying my rims till after the body is done and back on the frame.

      so is there anything out the I can get at a junk yard that will fit a Chevrolet bolt pattern and clear the wilwoods that I can pick up ultra cheap...

      ?? maybe the 16" space saver spare? they are pretty flat, hopefully not interfering with your brakes.
      Some came in multi-bolt patterns too. GM: Grand Prix (81-88), Caprice?, Malibu (80-88), Parisienne, etc
      The 2004-2006 GTO spare 'should' fit, but those will cost a lot more.

      The Caprice space saver won't fit the bolt pattern is wrong. Why don't you get some 3/4 in. pieces of plywood and make your own.

      Maybe 4th gen space saver spares, but I am not sure about that. I have looked at GTO spares and they are pricey.

      Thanks for the ideas guys, I think what I'm gonna do is leave the caliper bracket off and put the rotor hat on without the rotor and I should be able to just throw a 15 steel wheel on for rolling around the shop. kinda of a pain but it will work.

      You could always take the caliper off and your suspension could still have the weight on it and be able to roll around. I got Soft 8's in 17 for the exact same reason as you and still rockin them.
