possible to fit old style rally wheels on new camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

RSPARKS5 · 10-19-2008, 04:50 PM

Hello everyone, I have been on the side just monitoring all the great info here on this site, now that the real ordering has begun I was wondering if the old style rally wheels from the 60s-70s would fit? Is the bolt pattern the same? I know that you are thinking, why would you go back down to 15in wheels when 18- 20in wheels are the norm, I just like the look and might try something different. Thanks for the in put

it's either 4 1/2 inches or 4 3/4 one of those is the back space. good luck and welcome

unless you get new bolt pattern rally wheels they wont fit. the new hubs are all 5x120 which isnt safely compatible the sizes the old rally wheels were made in

I guarantee one of the big wheel companies will make a retro-style rally wheel for the Camaro. Look at the Mustang; you have everything from Torq-Thrust style wheels, redline tires, and any other retro styling bit you could possibly want (or not).

I had been thinking about this also... would need to see some chops of it first. There is a company that reproduces them up to 18" if I remember correctly, which I think would be the minimum you could go on the car to make it look right.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into the new style rally wheels and see if i can get some more info..

Good chance you may have brake clearance issues with a 15" wheel, no?

Absolutely. Wheel Vintiques makes 17, 18, and 20 inch diameter Cheverolet Rally wheels.

http://wheelvintiques.com/shopsite_s...ml/page75.html

However, they're

a. Very low offset.

b. The wrong bolt pattern.

c. Average $740 a piece.

You'll probably be paying $1000 a piece to get Wheel Vintiques to custome make Camaro fitments, but I'd LOVE it if they did.

Dropped 2SS with a 69 style Hurst Stick and Black Ball and 20" Rally Replicas.......

Of course, I'd have to go with the original style center caps.

Absolutely. And it'd look retarded.

15" wheels won't clear the brakes
bolt pattern is different
offset is completely different

LSxJunkie · 10-19-2008, 07:36 PM

About as retarded as 20's look on a 1st Gen.

EDIT: Shouldn't this be in the Wheels/Tires/Suspension section?
