I've seen 20's out back and 18's up front. Intro wheels had this INCREDIBLE 65 SS convertible(It was also featured in Super Chevy a efw years back) That I saw at Pomona in 2000.
Here is a pic of the car on thier web site.., http://www.introwheels.com/showroom3.asp
The pic does not do it justice. You may want to ask them what backspacing to use. (I think it was 4.5 for the back) You may also want to ask if they rolled thier wheel lip (I can't remember)...
Please post the answers you get.. I'm looking for some new gear as well..

Do a search on my username, I posted the specifics on this exact size for my 65 El Camino many times.
