Similar to the W&T Database, but since many pages of that thread have zero pics, this thread would be more focused on adding pics with a good side view or close up angle of the wheels on the vehicle.

No pics from 50ft away in a parking lot or some random photo you took in your driveway at a weird angle. Real simple photos to show your wheel and tire combos.

Something like this with the wheel brand and model, wheel specs, and tire sizes

I’d rather learn how fat and tall a tire can be on a chevelle per year. Back spacing? I have 67 and 72. The 72 can Handle a BIG tire and rim due to its a bigger car.

Dear Flounder68, I Think Your Post of Having Team Chevelle Members Post Photos of their Chevelles along with their Custom Wheels Would Allow us Older Team Chevelle Members to update Our Chevelles that have Stock Wheel Combinations. Personally, I would change my Stock Wheels to Custom Mag Wheels for my 1967 Chevelle SS 396 if I find a Photo on your Post that fits my Year and Model Just Right. I Thank You for Your Way of Thinking Looks versus Size Combinations for Us Older Guys. Sincerely Gary 396

I personally would not buy wheels for my car based on what works for someone else’s car. Way too many variables after 50 years, lots of stuff can change. Rear end, aftermarket quarters, tall ball joints or spindles, ton of mud in the quarters, etc. I always like to measure BOTH sides of whatever vehicle to see what will fit. I do like seeing what is out there for wheel design though

100% agree. Measuring is required. But this might give a few ideas to others.

Chrome wheels.
15 x 7
4.25back space
Chrome trailor grease hub on the front. I never liked the small chrome grease cap on the front wheels.
These wheels are from Wheel Vintique that I bought on Summit. They are Series 64 wheels.

While the chrome wheels looked and rode excellently, I went back the the factory first generation Rally wheels. I'm going to get the squared off beauty ring and the centers with the flages..

My favorite is the Third generation Rally wheel. lol

Do we ever have the right wheel or cam... LOL
