TO EACH HIS OWN! I do respect all opinions though. :rolleyes:

I've got theBudnik M5's on my 64. They are very similar to those. They look badass in my opinion! :D

In my humble opinion, I dont like the big wheel, rubberband tire look, old cars need FAT tires ;) But if you wanna make your car look like an import, thats okay too :D

What Bob said....

I'm not a big fan of what Bob so nicely described, but if you're gonna do it, those look like very nice wheels to go with.

VERY cool wheels. :)

I dont like the big wheel, rubberband tire look, old cars need FAT tires ;)Those balloon tires don't corner worth a damn though. :noway:

On a car with extensive suspension mods such as Rantheman's, it would be foolish to throw away all that money spent by not optimizing the most critical part of the handling combo. :yes:

no problems cornering with my baby:) Mark's Stage II kit, Afco double adjustable coilovers, and the works....

Agreed^^^:cool:

You mean my 31x 18.5 x 18's aren't FAT???? ;)

Rathman, you can get a lot of rubber around those rims for the right look.

100% AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i personally would'nt put anything bigger than 15 inch rims on any muscle car.i think they were made to go fast in a straight line thats why i got nice fat balloons on my 67

i think they were made to go fast in a straight lineThey didn't even do that very well without modifying the whole car anyway, so what's wrong with modifying for handling purposes instead? If I followed your logic, I'd be stuck driving mine only for daily commuting rather than fun, because that is in-fact what it was built for... :clonk:

Chevelles are a perfect platform to build a car that can blow away new BMWs with ease... it just takes the right combination of parts, which includes some good sticky rubber with stiff sidewalls. :yes:

Rantheman,

Those are wide rims for a 65. Sure they will fit ? You must be modifying the body/frame yes ?

Oh yeah, those performance tires are a big improvement over the fatty 15's I use to run. To each his own.

yes the frame has been modified and the body to 2" mini tub so I have 14 inches in the wheel wells so I am running a 12.6 wide tire in the rear

I agree with the others especially on a 65. You need to add a tire with some sidewall or it won't look right. Probably something between 45~55 sidewall percentage.
