1969-1975 Corvette Original NOS 15X8 Rally Wheels
Will these fit on my 1967? They are close to me and a good deal....
They are Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Code as Stamped: * Manufacturer - Kelsey-Hayes (K) Plant - 1 (1) * Year of Manufacture - 1993 - Last Year for Original Wheels (93) * Month of Manufacture - October (10) * Day of Manufacture - 20th (20) * Size Code - AZ (AZ) I just want to make sure I don't have any fitment issues before I go pick them up.... TIA -Jake :lurk: |
it should be 1973. KH was not around the 90's. they will fit but I am sure the tires will rub on the fenders and inner fenders.

I wouldn't do it. If you want a wider stock-looking wheel get the 1968 15x7's.

I have them on my '67 but I've trimmed the inside lips and raised the cutout slightly. Car looks much better with fat tires!!! :D

....... Would they rub just sitting there, or just over bumps/turns (if I didn't do what you mentioned above)? Thanks, guys, for your quick replies! |
they probably won't rub just 'sitting there', but they will probably rub on bumps on the rear, fronts will probably be OK.

Bill I've got 17" Torque-Thrust II's on it right now, with 255 series rubber in the rear.... those don't rub, so, I'm thinking they might just work for what I need them for. :yesnod: |

If you use them, be prepared for expen$ive fiberglass and paint work; midyears are extremely intolerant of wider-than-stock 15" wheels (they were designed in 1961, around 6.70-15 tires on 5-1/2" wheels). :rolleyes:
..... However.... I do run 17x8 TTII's front and rear (245/45/17 and 255/45/17 rubber front and rear, respectively), and don't have any issues with rubbing. :blueangel: http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...e/DSCF0066.jpg |
