Backspacing on a 15x7 rally is 4.5 inches, and a Corvette fitment 15x8 is 3.75 inches.

The back spacing is the same for 14, 15, or 16, I would go 4 to 4 ½. You do want to go to a 7 to 8 wide wheel. Any rim that will fit a 69 Camaro with disc brakes will fit fine on your car. Next Swap Meet you go to measure a disc brake rally wheel for a Camaro not a Vette. That wheel is available in a 14 and 15 version. Anyone who is reading this and has one of those rims please post the back spacing and rim width. Good luck, Jim _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel De Smet Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2007 11:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chevelle-list] 64 Chevelle tire & wheel question I am hoping to get the body done and painted this summer. I am going to put some wheels on it when it gets done. I am debating on keeping 14" or upgrading to 15" wheels. I do not care for the big wheel craze so 15's are as big as I would consider. What backspacing is proper for the 64 in stock configuration? I would probably stay with 6" wide wheels. How wide of a tire can I put in the rear wheel wells? I am also planning on installing front disc, will the factory front disc brakes fit under aftermarket 14" wheels? I am thinking about either Weld draglite's, dragstars or American torq thrusts unless someone has any other ideas of what would look good on a 64.
