That wheel with that backspacing would cause major clearance problems on a 68-72 Chevelle/El Camino. What diameter is the LS1 rear rotor? 12"? If so,you probably won't have clearance issues. 724tim May 26th, 06, 1:07 PM the rear end is the same as a chevelle 12 bolt gm the car is not jacked up it's actually lowerd in the front and the rear philbay May 27th, 06, 5:29 AM I recently had a set of welds 15x10s with 4.5 that I thought would fit due to they were on a olds, a body 12 bolt,should fit right... NO>>>> it seems the wheel well opening is larger or rounder thus they fit the olds,not,I repeat,not a chevelle, need 5.5 bs,not 4.5,, Hey,anyone want a cheap set? | ||
