when it was silver the wheels were 17X11" with 5.5" bs and 17X8" with 4.75" bs. Rear tires were 315/35's and the fronts were 245/45's. Yes, the car was minitubbed to fit that size rear tire/wheel combo.

Try here (http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=262199). Not all of them are "pro-touring" style cars, but its a pretty good amount of '64-'65 cars on this board.

thanks for the replies im thinking about a 18 in wheel on my 64 with a 9.5 wide rear how will they fit in the front fenders idk widths yet.

Here are a couple picture of my 65. Painted it a month ago and just finished aligning and bolting up the sheet metal. I am now working on putting glass, trim, & interior back together. Can't wait to take it for a spin.

I am running 18's front and rear. The front tire are Nitto 555 - 225/45ZR18 & Rear tire are Nitto 555 - 255/45ZR18

I have Hotchkis 1" drop springs in the front and rear and AFX spindles in front which is approx another 3/4 drop. I don't have bumpers and interior in it yet. I would like it a bit lower, will see what happens once I have it all together. Yes the tire sizes should fit however my off set could be different than yours because of the Wilwood front brakes that I had to clear and I have a Moser rear-end that I had narrowed 1" on both sides. Front off set is 4.250 (18X7) and rear is 4.00 (18x8)

KMD, what shocks are you running?

KMD, what shocks are you running?

Bilstein shocks front and rear.

My 64. Eboc 1 1/2 lowerd springs.Eldlbrock rear trailing arms.Stock front arms with poli bushings.No sway bars or shocks yet.Would like 17s for a pro tour look someday.

A side question.How do you guys get the full screen pic?

You didn't say what stage!

Here we are finishing up all of the final touches on replacing ALL the floor metal, including things they dont make. Needless to say, the outer portion of the homemade mini tubs are getting mocked and completed. All the little imperfections on the bottom of the floor are getting hit and ready for the U-Pol Raptor undercoating.

Hope to be back on the chassis in a couple weeks!!!:beers:

Alan,

That is a good looking 64!

What width wheels are those? 8's? Or different front and rear?

Did you drop the rear at all?

Thanks

Mark

Mark -

Wheels in those photos are 15x7 all the way around. Rear in those photos were with the original coil springs.

This photo is with 2" dropped spindles & 1" lowering coils all the way around. I now have 15x6 on the front and 15x7 on the rear.

Nice. That is very close to the look I am going for. I really like the "Real wheel and tire" look, instead of the "big wheel and rubber band" look. I also have to admit that even today I still like raised white letters! I have the 2" drop spindles and was going to put the springs I have back on to see where things stood.

Do you have any rubbing issues? Could you fit wider in the rear? I was thinking 8's and maybe even 9's should fit but don't know. My car is still off the frame waiting on final blocking and paint.

Mark

Front wheels would rub a little going up a driveway with the wheels turned.

I think 15x8 with 5" backspacing would work that would be tight and you may have to massage the fender lip on back and it would be close to the shock mount.

I think you could get 245 or 255/60/15 tires on the rear.

Heres my 65.

If the diecast had black interior that would be my car. It has the same steering wheel and a four speed.:yes:

Hahaha. That's crazy. :cool:

Ya, I might have to pick one of those diecasts up. :beers:

A 64 I did.

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k87/motivational/64chevelle1.jpg

Car was totaled by insurance company last July. Purchased another and will be swaping all running gear and most interior. Tires are 245x45x17 4.5 in. front and rear backspacing, with rear rolled lip.

what size wheels are on your 64 looks killer

17x9.5 and 17x8. Tires are 275/40/17 and 245/40/17

what suspension are you running?

My '65. Stock suspension with 2 coils cut from front springs and rear at stock height--these are the original coils so some sag factor here. Heavy duty sway bar up front. Tried 3" drop springs up front but had rubbing when turning issues. Do not have drop spindles.

Tires and wheels: 245-45-17s on 17 X 8 wheels all the way around with correct back spacing to not have to roll the fender lips. Not much room for more.

That looks really good. I want to find a decent static drop for mine...for the time being.

beautiful car........... :beers:

Jody

what suspension are you running?

I cut 1 coil from the front and 2 coils in the rear from the stock springs.

Work in progress, but movin along pretty good! Car itself is pretty much done as far as body, suspension & interior...puttin the 509 together right now, while saving money for everything else, lol! Anyways...my fronts are 15x7 & rear are 15x8 (all 4.5 backspacing)...front tires are 225 60's & rears are 255 60's. 2in dropped spindles & 1in lowering springs in front. Rear springs are cut down a bit but won't set the rear up until I know where the front will sit being complete.

Chad...your car is looking fine. Nice choice for the hood. I've worked out most of the bugs on my car and ready for a longer test drive. Maybe a trip to Elk Grove for a visit?

Work in progress...

That's a really nice ride!! Can't wait to see more of it. What hood is that?

LOL! Man, I'm a fan of the protouring thing for sure, but everything I build ends up looking straight up muscle car style...can't help it! To me, just something about 15in wheels, a little meat dropped down low with an attractive stance! I'm really stoked how this 64 is turning out...little older, little more money, gettin to do everything I've wanted...FINALLY! Sorry, a little off topic...but I gotta say, I'm really impressed with what some of these protouring guys come up with!

Don't have any pics to post but I wish I could catch these 65's that have been running around my area lately. I've seen 3 in the past 3 months and they are always elusive. Saw one on my way home today at about 16:30 and "felt" it before anything. Man it sounded so go. I almost pulled out of the turning lane to chase after him.

I WISH THOSE GUYS WERE ON THE FORUM!!

Here are a few pics of my 65 SS.Rims are Coy's C-5s 18X7s and 18X8s.More details on rims,tires and suspension in the rims and tire section here on Team Chevelle. All the details of my build can be seen here; http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2183366/1965-chevrolet-chevelle

Troy, very nice work. Did installing the LQ4 require any modifications to the frame or firewall?

No no frame or firewall mods needed. Some have notched the sub frame to run A/C low on the passenger side before aftermarket accessory drives were available.

nice love it what tire sizes are u running?

Currently running 225/40/18 fronts in 18x7 and 255/35/18 rears on 18X8s. If you look in the tire and wheel thread there is an old pic of my 18 x9s w/255/35 fronts and 275/35 rears. Kind if miss the old steam rollers. :(

did you fit the 275 in the rear no problem?

Yes, no problems at all with 18X9 American Racing Rebels with I believe 5 1/2" of backspacing w/a 275/35/18 tire. I think the combo of boxed lower control arms,new energy suspension bushings KYB shocks with a tire with little to no sidewall to flex= no rubbing at all.

nice if i run 17 on front and 18s on rear should i go with a 225 35 17 and 255 40 18 tire?

That is one sweet 65!
