backspace question on a 66 chevelle

[okyankee]

would the same back space measurements apply to a 65 chevelle as well? i will mini tub the back of mine but i am worried about tire size and the back spacing for it. the back is easy enough to hack or cut down the rear end to make the tires and wheels fit.

Nope, 65's are totally different, and we would run a completely different backspace on a 65 Chevelle.

66-67's can easily fit a 10" wheel in the rear, with a 275-285 wide tire, but on a stock 65, we run a 9", and its a tight fit. Now with tubing the back of your car, we just need to know by how much, and if your rear end is stock, a different year, or if custom, what measurement you narrowed it by each side.

For the front of a 65 an 8" wheel is super tight fit, but can be done. Call us, I can tell you exactly what measurements to take to confirm the backspace, and guide you down the right path to a wheel that will fit the build.
