<VV> Need advice for 15x7 rims on a '66 CORSA - please...

[Jim]

I’ve been using 16X8 Camaro IROC-Z wheels on my ’65 Corsa for almost 20 years.  They are marked “REAR.”   The IROC-Z Camaro had a narrower wheel in the front [I think 7”] for clearance.  On my Corvair, no problem.  I have 205/50 R16 tires on it which approximates the 7.00X13 tire diameter.  See photo.  I’m selling the car in the spring as a parts car.  It has major rust at the rear trailing arm mount as well as elsewhere.  It also dropped a valve seat on #3 exhaust last summer.  I’ve put 90,000 miles on it over the past 22 years so I can’t complain!  I’m going to miss it though; it was great fun to drive everyday.

I, too , am interested in a set of 15 x 7's. Which Rally wheel is the correct one to buy......meaning there won't be clearance issues, etc.?

Anybody?

Many Thanks,

Chris Kunkler/65' Corsa
