Where I ended up
I also have a '65 Malibu SS. I also wanted to get the stance "right". Went with Airide for that. On the front I have the tall B body spindles with Hotchkis upper arms, Baer 13" brakes. I was able to run 17 x 8 w/5.5 bs and 245/45 Nitto 555's. In the back I managed to squeeze 275/40 Nitto 555's on 18 x 9.5w/ 5.5 bs. To make them rear fit required stretching the rear quarters an inch on each side.
Nice to see another early A body in the mix !
