    Also, I think I'm looking for a 15x7" with about a 4" backspacing.

    Anyone know which Chevrolets came with something similar to this?

    Thanks, Jim

  4. I got some original steelies off a 60....we'll measure 'em tomorrow;) I know they're 5 on 4 3/4....think they were 14x5 or 5.5 with 4 backspacing.....Wagon and Elky may have had a 15 option....I don't recall.....anyway, see ya tomorrow;)

    Thanks Mike!

    I need some rollers for mine before I drag it home. As long as I'm looking though, I figured I might as well look for some I can keep & use.

    See you tomorrow.

    I have a friend who has a 59 El Camino and he has 15X7 Monte Carlo Rally wheels on it ( on the rear ) and 14X6 Camaro Rallys on the front.

    They are just some old rims he ALWAYS uses ... on the last 4 or 5 Chevrolets he has had. :D
