I got a chance at a really nice pair of the 16" 5 spoke wheels, but not sure if they would fit my '67 vert. Anybody got any idea? Thanks for the help!!

What width? What backspacing? What tire size do you want to run with them?

Are the wheels aftermarket or a chevy wheel?

Sorry... Stock 16" from a mid '90s Camaro. Not sure on what to run on them... Just learning the tire/rim math.

Background: My '67 was a numbers matching L6/PG, but I have a fairly stock 327/TH350 in it now and am just looking to enjoy crusing a bit more. I have some decent 15x8 ralleys, but was thinking about a little upgrade without breaking the bank.

Thanks again for the help!!

Looks good, as should 86 - 90 IROC wheels. Based on some websites I searched, the backspacing is the same for an 8" wide wheel on first gen and third gen Camaros. The wheels are relatively inexpensive, but the tires may cost you more (supply/demand).

Thats them... WOW they really look nice on your '68!!! Thanks for the help. I can get the tires pretty cheap with the military discount at a couple shops I frequent. What tires size are you running? Thanks for the help and great shots of your nice '68.

I will get tire sizes for you tonight. My fronts are very small because my car is lowered 2 inch in the front and 1.5 inch in the back. If your car is not lowered you can probably get away with what I ahve in the back all the way around. I am running a small (1/4" maybe) spacer on the back tires. The wheels scrubbed my shock mounts. I also had to get a little longer studs for the rear to make them work after I added the spacer.

Brad... have you had a chance to look at your tire size? Thanks again for the great pic's!! Oh-yeah... how much would ya'll pay for a decent set of those rims? I was thinking of around $150.
