I'm sure a 20 can fit, but the style of wheels we are looking at come in 18's and 19's. Plus the larger wheel will raise the ride height. Once we have it on the ground we will make final decisions. At this point we like the 18 and 19 combo we already mocked up.

Just because you can does not always mean you should. That is a phrase for building cars.

I'm not a fan of staggered wheel combos, but I see how you raise it with a bigger rear,

but I think anything 20 and over belongs on Impalas and the such vechicles, not a fan,

Sweet project Rodger! I've always liked that body style... I owned a '70 396 A/C car in Dusk blue...

This will be fun to watch!

Well things are getting torn down we are working on modifying the firewall and getting the interior on par with the customer wishes. Man that stock dash is huge, We are going to have to figure out a way to do update this dash. HMMM

Thanks, Hopefully before the end of the year.

I think 20's would look good on the rear. But, of course Roger has to do what the owner wants. If 19's look good on the rear of a Camaro, a 20 wouldn't be too big on the rear of a Chevelle being a bigger car and all. I also understand the logistics of the ride height too. Just my opinion though. It's going to look killer either way. :yes: :yes: By the way Roger, when are we gonna get some pics of the frame?

Great looking project and I agree on the 18 - 19 I think it's a great choice

I didn't know that you were making a Chevelle Chassis. What other chassis have you done or started.

Yep I saw that also. I was concerned with it being designed and built by Sema. That is a pretty lofty goal. He must have a chassis that they have already designed

What I remember

Tri-Five
62 Bel Air X Frame
and must be a Chevelle.

the funny thing is I think I remember one at GG Columbus but my brain isn't working really good tonight.
