15 inch Rally or Cragars
hello
I am looking at a 69 Malibu online. currently the car has 8 inch Rallys on back and 7 inch rallys on front. 245 60 15 tires on back, 225 60 15 front. I prefer all 4 wheels to be the same size. would 8 inch rallys on front work? the car has drums on it now, but if I get it, would convert front to discs. in addition, seller has 4 cragars to go with car, 15X8 rear I believe, and 14 inch for front. again, like the rallys, I would prefer the same size all around, so maybe 8 inch in front. whats all your opinion.? if I get car, I am leaning to just keep the rallys and try to find two 8 inch wheels for the front. the car has air shocks in back. I know it is personal preference on which wheel to use, but I assume a 15 X8 wheel in front would clear brakes and fender for steering? thanks! |

i would go with the ralley rims as is...
7'' front and 8'' rear you will have 2-diff tire sizes anyways

so, do most folks just run a bigger rim in back anyway? wouldn't the current tire on the 7 inch rim work on a 8 inch rim?
the cragars would come with the car, so I guess I could just sell them to offset the cost of getting 8 inch wheels in front. I assume the 8 inch 15X7 wheel would work on the front ? as far as clearance and drivabity? thanks |

what is the normal back spacing on these 15 X8 rallys, they vary.? I guess I have to see what they are in back, so I put the same backspacking on fronts

Kevin, on the other site, Team Chevelle, there is a "sticky" thing in the tires and wheels section. There is about every combo of wheels and tires that have ever been on a Chevelle. Give it a look.
