I really like these Americans and was wondering if anyone here has used this wheel on a 66 or 67.

I already have 245/50/16 tires that I plan to use. The car I'll be putting them on just has stock suspension.

Jeff,
I saw some on a Camaro and they looked so good, that's what got me started. It seems a lot of the fellows here are running different width/offset wheels on the front than rear. I want to have all 4 the same so I can rotate them as it becomes necessary. I'm not sure about frt fender clearance, and the only way I know to find out for sure is try them on, or find someone who already has.
Since they really stress the fact that they are special order wheels, and not returnable, I'd rather find someone who has used them first.
I can't get to your picture from the link you provided. Thanks for your response.
Dan

Sorry about the link here it is : http://chevelles.com/showroom/ACE841/67.jpg
They changed the format for access on my photos so I had to move it to my TC showroom.
What is the offset you are looking for? My 16x8s (on all 4) are with the 12mm offset and fit great. originally ordered for my Monte SS they now reside on my 69 Camaro. You can kindasee how they fit there in the "my chevs" pic in my sig. I tried looking around as I have a pile of pics but could not find a 66 pic. I know I have a pic of one with those wheels. I'll keep looking.

OK, it's been a while now so I'll ask again to see if anyone is using these particular wheels (16x8) with 4" backspacing and -12mm offset on a 66 of 67 with stock suspension???
Here's a link to the page that shows them.
