<VV> the new 66' Corsa wheels

[Ray Rodriguez III]

If it suits your personal preferences 15x8's work great all the way around... many of the cars you see with 3rd gen camaro wheels are 15'x8's.   I'm putting a set of 15x8 corvette rallys all the way around on my 65' when it finally gets finished in fact.

The wheels on the 66' are 14's..   215-60-14's all the way around.  I'd prefer wider in the rear and the wheels a little closer to the outside of the car, but these are definitely good enough... they look nice.  The front of the car isnt "quite" as low as it is in the pics, the trunk was FULL of stuff (some of it heavy) when I took those pics... but it is quite low...  I'm really big on using stance and rolling stock to get an aggressive look.

  Ray - Love the car! 


  I'm picking up a red '65 Corsa vert today, and have been pondering what wheels to put under her. I'm favoring a set of replica Chevelle SS ralleys, 15", with 225/50-15s on them. What is the size you have on yours? They look awesome! I have found a full set of four 15x8s, but I think that will be too wide for the front, even with the 4.5" backspace. 


  Thanks - Jay

    Many of you have already helped me with advice on a couple little problems I've had....  I finally have pics to show you of the 66 Corsa 140 I picked up last week in Ohio...  I think it was a great buy (despite the couple little hiccups).
