I might be mistaken but I don't think 26' wheels will work on that car,lol...:noway:

Are you serious about 26s? The largest we've done is 24x10s.

26" wheels require this first critical step: Sell the Chevelle and buy a 90's caprice.

I have 20's and there about as high as I would go.To put 26's on would be a waste of a nice Chevelle

X2 67!!! Im close to the city of Camden Nj... I see that crap on caprices and impalas and 95 and newer luminas and montes all jacked up... All I can do is just shake my head and laugh.... I almost pulled up to one today and was gonna ask if he had four wheel drive to mount those 24 Dubs but was out numbered and didnt think the answer I would have gotten would have been a pleasant one....:noway:

Sorry Big K. Seems that the trend is big bling on vehicles lately. I'm sure if you search "wheel" threads you can get an idea of what some of the members have done to their "classic" vehicles. While doing the "plus" on wheel sizes may be cool to some, others see it as "re-writing history". A 70's vehicle was not designed for such a big rim unless you plan on doing major modifications to the wheel wells. You also enter a very dangerous territory, safety wise, unless you beef up your brake system. Again, one persons taste in wheels is another person's dis-taste. You want big bling on that Chevelle? Be ready to be ridiculed for ruining the "look" of a classic car.:yes:
