Friend has a 1968 Malibu and has 2 of the original 14x5 plain steel wheels. He was asking me if the SS would have had the same wheels?
Was the 1968 SS396 Chevelle available with 14x5 wheels?

I told him I'd ask but was fairly confident that a 6" would have been minimum.

We are talking about drum brake cars.
