I have a '66 Elko with front disc brakes from about a '70 Chevelle. I need to get wheel codes for plain steel 14" wheels that will clear the calipers. Can anyone out there help me on this. All posts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Dead thread, yes, but have a request for '68 A body rims, on another site, and would like to find a chart that lists the 14 x 6 two letter codes and what they came from and whether they will clear factory discs. Most charts seem to focus on the rally wheels.You will also need to look at the wheel bolt pattern spacing - its not just a caliper clearance problem. I think you will need to look for a "5 x 120.7 mm" bolt pattern. These wheels are now quite uncommon in the junk yards because it appears that GM stopped using this bolt pattern in 1988. A 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee might have this bolt pattern. Measure carefully before buying.
I have learned a lot about this over the last few weeks trying to find a replacement for my original El Camino 14 inch wheels. With my completion of a Right Stuff front disk brake upgrade last weekend, I need at least a 15 inch front wheel to clear my new disk brake calipers. And being the cheap tight wad that I am, I don't want to spend the money yet for the new Torque Thrust wheels that I will eventually ride on.
