    THESE actually aren't. But, I have used spacesavers before. They are getting harder to find here

    Thanks for the pics - I just saw your post.

    So the the caps snap on around the bolts?

    What width are the front rims? Are you running disc brakes?

    60's Corvettes ran 15" wheels with a 4 3/4 bolt pattern that will run the Chev dog dish caps.... Coker sells them if you can't find nice used ones.
     
  4. A set of '63 Vette spinner caps arrived this morning. Hopefully I can find some wheels soon. Anyone know the backspacing on a stock, drum brake, 5 lug early Nova?

    TIA, JH

    Rally America will make them with custom backspacing, but I'd rather find them used if I can:

    I'm going to post your question on another website. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

    a 15x7 ralley wheel will fit under the back.....think they are 4 or 4.25 backspacing....i ran 15x5's up front with the same front offset as a 15x6 ralley wheel....probably in the 3.25 to 3.5 backspace range.....if the car is dropped , that may change the needed offset as well on the front.....brandon:D

    15 x 6 with 3.5 bs on front and 15 x 7 with 4.5 bs on rear should work.
