Hello,

I've got a query about some rims sizes. Is it possible to fit Corvette rims with the folowing specs on my basically stock 68 Chevelle?

There are two 17" x 9.5" for the front and two 17" x 11" for the rear. They are 5-lug (5x120.65mm). The 17" x 9.5" are a +38mm offset (6.7 inch backspacing) and the 17" x 11" are a +36.5 mm offset (7.397 inch backspacing).

I have disc brakes on the front, but that shouldn't matter. Thanks

Dale has some information that you can use to see if your wheel spec's will work. Wheels specs that work (http://www.chevellestuff.com/tech/tire_wheel.htm)
There is a 70 El Camino with close specs!

They will fit with spacers, too much offset the way they are.
