I have a chance to pick up 4 15 by 8 inch rally rims off a 69 Vette. I was wondering if I would have any issues if I wanted to run a set of these on the front of my 68 Chevelle. I have no idea of back spacing but I would think whatever was stock was on a 69 is what these will be. Thanks

No issues running 15 X 8 on my 69 except my rear tires are a little too wide and the rear end is closer to one side that the other.
That side rubs going around corners if I have two people in the back seat. :(

No issues on the front with 8 inch wide rims Dean? And thanks to both of you for the response.

The off-set on 8in. Corvette wheels is 4in. I have had them on several differant year Chevelles. If it is lowered in the front the tires hit the inner wheelwells going over dips in the highway at speed. The rears will clear unless you run wide tires.

I have 8" AZ corvette rally's on all four corners. 255's.
I rub on the front with the inner wheel well if I have the wheels turned tight and hit a dip/hole turning into a drive or such sometimes but not often. New Edelbrock IAS shocks help.
