What size wheels did Yenko use on his Chevelles? I've seen most were 15's but not sure of the width. What is the widest rim and tire that can go on the rear of a 69 without modifying the fender well?

They were Atlas wheels. 14x8??? I have 15x10 replica SS wheels on the back of my 69 with 275 60 15 bf goodrich tires and I think I could go up a size still.

Im pretty sure all the Yenko Chevelles had the sports car conversion COPO option as well as the L-72..this put 15 inch rally wheels on the car and a bigger sway bar in the front..they would have been 7 inch wheels

The Yenko Camaro COPO 9737 had larger sway bar but the Yenko Chevelle COPO 9737 didn't.

Yenko Chevelle came from the factory with the Z/28 YH 15x7 wheel but with the larger Goodyear F 70 15 Wide Tread-GT tire

I don't know how Yenko did it but he was able to get some odd options from Chevy.

It was the same size as the Corvette tires but was a different tire.

Not on that list of Yenko Chevelle RPO options is the rear mount antenna.
For some reason a bunch of the Yenko Chevelles came with rear mount antenna

So your saying that the Yenko Chevelle came with the standard 15/16" swaybar?

original Yenko Chevelles I have seen had the standard 15/16" swaybar and no rear bar.

It is sort of a Yenko Chevelle mystery why Yenko did not use RPO F41 with the larger front bar and the rear bar that was an option on 69 Chevelles.

The COPO 9737 sports car conversion used on the 69 Yenko Camaro used a larger sway bar that was a service part in the Chevy parts book.

The F41 was a standard RPO option for Chevelle but it is shown as only used on 722 1969 Chevelles at a cost of $29.50.

I think there was some type of problem getting F41 on the 1969 Chevelles because so few were made.

In 1970, F41 was standard on the SS396 and SS454 Chevelles
