Some have used adapters in place of spacers to run Corvette wheels on A-bodies

well, seems that dream was shattered quickly. Found out that his Dad is getting the wheels for his 65 Vette I think... I may try to find another set. The idea caught my attention and the more I think about it the more I like it.

Even if the wheel offset on them would work,they are too wide to fit under a 64-65 without major mods. IIRC,the fronts are 17x9.5 and the rears are 18x10.5.

Thanks Clint, I wasn't sure of the widths but thought both were too wide no matter the offset.
