Went from this to this.....I think it needs to set a little lower. Wheels are American Racing VN 472. 18x9 with a 5 inch bs and 18x10 with a 5.75 bs.

Prefer the first set of wheels. 2nd set removes too much of the character for me.

I think your post is in the wrong forum.
I'm with John, not a fan of any wheel over 16" on a Chevelle, especially ones with narrow spokes and large gaps. But then we're old.

Sorry, I agree with the rest of the guys, I like the first set better. Classic look, can't go wrong there. It would help to lower it though if you stay with the second set.

1st set

If you keep the 2nd set....you'll need to lower the car

Same here. First set looks much better.

I like the 15's too. And I'm not that old!!

But, I also think it would look killer down a couple inches, tucking those 15's.

Same here, it looks much better in the first picture.

I'm 62 and was driving when these cars were brand new. Back then most cars came with 14" rims and we would go to 15" rims and tall tires to fill out the fender wells. I'm with the rest of these guys I like the first set of rims better. If you need a bigger rim to clear your brakes that's a different story. If your satisfied that's all that matters.

Definitely like the second set better. Still undecided about the stance although looks ok to me. Very nice Malibu Conv. and not an SS wannabe.

 

[Ken Hayes]

The second set with the big gaps and running drum brakes just dont get it. Stick with the first set.

 

[Derek69SS]

With the current stance, I think the first set looks better... dropping it 2 inches all around would make the new wheels look "right" for the car.

15" tires suck. There's no good tires available.

18x9 and 18x10 give you lots of options for fantastic performance tires.

Agree it needs to be lowered. I won't give you an unsolicited opinion about which looks better as you appear to be saturated with them.

 

[jackie schmidt]

First set.

 

[Boo.Man.1971]

First set , don't lower the car.

 

[Derek69SS]

Seems the majority here likes their cars to be SLOW.

"unsolicited"... he did ask "What do you think?"

 

[Chevycollecter]

first set looks better.

 

[ne70ss]

I agree it does need to be lowered, but it does have 4 wheel discs now and not drums. I myself, just cannot get used to these. I'll give it a bit and see if I change my mind. Thanks everyone.

The back ride height seems ok, the front kind of seems about an inch or 2 too high. I to am more of a classic look guy myself, I was just trying to find something no one else had.
