my6t7ss Dec 30th, 02, 4:26 PM I have a 67 SS with factory disc brakes, I would like to run 15 X 8 steel wheels and the correct dog dish caps. Can this be done? I currently have 15X8 chrome rallys with a 4.5" b/space. Are Dog dish caps the same for different years, models? 1966_L78 Dec 30th, 02, 8:14 PM Not sure on the wheels (but I am interested too...). But the dog dishes for 1966 and 1967 are similar... I think they are actually the same stamping, but the detail painting is different in each year... Not sure, but I remember seeing some 65's with similar caps... I know the full-size (Biscaynes, etc) as well as Corvairs and Nova's for 1966 used a different cap... ------------------ "Once you go RAT, you never go back..."

I have no idea. Also don't have a clue where to find the caps or the wheels. E-Bay has a set of caps for a 69 Camaro. 1966_L78 Dec 31st, 02, 4:37 PM I know 1969s are different, but I do recall at least 67 camaros with similar caps... Not sure on 68, but I think those were the newer style... ------------------ "Once you go RAT, you never go back..."

I'm sure we will learn more about caps & wheels.

I don't know if the 14" hub caps would fit on 15" wheels...never tried it. ------------------ TC Gold #92/ACES #1709 67 SS & 67 Elky GR8PMKN (http://www.dalesplace.com/images/chevelle/more_pics/p001182.jpg) Dale's Place (http://www.dalesplace.com) Team 67 (http://www.team67.com) Midwest Chevelle Regional Governing Council (http://www.midwestchevelles.com) Integrity: If you have it, it doesn't matter - If you don't have it, it doesn't matter. SSuper Dave Dec 31st, 02, 9:21 PM The original 14" dog dishes from my '68 fit on a pair of 15x7 steelies that I found at the junkyard. Can't wait to sandblast and paint them and run some bigger tires! ------------------ "SSuper Dave" Palmer A.C.E.S. #1483 Team Chevelle #32 Gold 1968 Chevelle 427/390hp, 700R4, 3.31 12 bolt 1970 El Camino, licensed and insured for the first time since 1988, drove it down the block the other day, bodywork is continuing. 1970 Malibu survivor, Astro Blue, 350/350 temporary car, fixing for a friend:) SSpete67 Dec 31st, 02, 11:02 PM I'm running a 15X8 in the rear of my 1967 SS Chevelle. I have 15X60X225 rear tires with 5" of back spacing. Its looks really good and works well with no tires rubbing. In the front I'm running 15X6 ralleys with 3 1/2" Back spacing with 15X60X215 front tires on my Ralleys. Hope that Helps SSpete67 Dec 31st, 02, 11:03 PM Correction on my rear tires, They are 15X60X275 and no problem with tire rub | ||
