Tim is right,I've had 30-series 20" tires on the back of this car and they looked like band aids.
My fronts are 25.57" tall and the rears are 26.4" tall so I've got that slight rake we all want built-in.I'm not sure if it's because they're drag radials but I think the rears have plenty of sidewall...tire program puts that @ 4.2"

Thanks guys. I don't like the "band aid" look that's for sure. At least not on a car as big as a Chevelle. On others it looks okay, but on an A body you need some height!

....now if only I could decide on wheels I'd be set...

Like John, I prefer 5 spoke designs. I've had my eye on these from Billet Specialties for awhile.Name:  billet specialties.jpg

Almost look similar to the Foose Legends which I'm sure Jon can hook you up with...
