The picture here http://ep.com/brad/Chevelle/ has the car with the Vintage Wheel Works V45 in a 17x9.5" with 275/40/17 tires. The pictures at http://ep.com/brad/Chevelle/Chevelle/ and http://ep.com/brad/Chevelle/Wheels/ChevelleEnkie.jpg I think are actually Epsilon wheels. They have no brand on them, just a cap with a stylized "E" and I can never keep it straight. I found a picture of similar wheels and they were Epsilon branded.
Either way, the old 16" wheels are 16x9.5" with (I think) 4 3/4" or 4 7/8" backspace. I always thought that they were 5.5" backspace, but that is not what I measured. I should have had the tire shop use their tools to tell me the exact number. They are a 3 piece wheel, so it is always possible to "remanufacture" a different width and backspace. I found a reference to Epsilon Wheels in El Segundo (not too far from me), and I think I'll call them up to see what they might know and if they might want them for some reason. I'll sell them to anyone, but they are well used so I don't know if they are desirable.
