    Hi!
    I would like to mount Astro Supremes on my '53 Chevy. Can someone tell me what dimension i need? The chassis is original but 2" lowered in the front and 3" in the rear!

    Thanks!

    Pretty sure that 2-door, panel-painted Chevy above has 15 x 7's and they're reverse off-set. The perfect lowrider wheel is a 14 x 7 reverse with about a 5.20 tire, or radial size equivalent.

    I like the 14's. shorter tires just makes sense when you want a low car. my frame would hit on speed bumps in the Chevy. when I put those wheels on a buddy made me an honorary Mexican:)

    I actually bought these wheels for my 61 Dodge, but being unilug I put them on my Chevy for a while. that green '53 chevy looks like it has the reversed wheels, which may or may not fit on your car since who knows what sort of modification have been done to the chassis. I bought reversed for my Dodge, but they rubbed in the back, luckily I had a buddy who like them for his car and he bought them.
