    I got a project fleetline, that will be on the road in a month or so, I am having trouble trying to find a skinny 14 with good ofset for my car, its sitting on a malibu. The early wheels fit good, but dont clear the calipers. I will get some good pics next week of the car, its chopped, channeled, and the ch***is and floorpan is a factory 78 malibu V8 3spd on the floor bench car.

    Try the standard 14" steel wheels found on 75-79 Chevy Novas and their GM cousins. These cars all had front disc brakes, and came standard with basic steel 14" wheels. Don't know if the offset will be exactly what you're looking for...but they'll provide a good starting point for ya. They'll fit over your calipers and will get you by until you find something better.

    Another option is to look for S-10 14-inch wheels, they have essentially the same front suspension as the Malibu ch***is. I think S-10 base models had 14-inch wheels?
