new shoes for my 65 and 68

[Sportwagon400]

I had these 16 X7 and 16X 8 rallies specially made for the 65 wagon for clearnace I like them :) the amerivcans on my 68 are also custom back spacing I am using theses 16X 7 and 16 X 8 until my 17 X 8's arrive I like them both :) :TU:

I just have to install the lowering springs on the 68 to get that nose down where it should be

What is the backspacing of the ones on your 68? :beer

the 68 has front 16 X 7 - 4 1/4 bs front and rears are 16 X 8 - 5 1/4 BS i can still run a wider tire on the 68's rear and clear with out triming I had the back spacing made it was only 20 more each wheel well worth it currently the rears are 235/60/16

Kenny Boy,
they both look real good. I saw center caps like the ones on your 65 in Portland a couple of years ago.

Thanks the back spacing on the wagon with these 16 X 8 rallies is 5 1/2 but I have a 68 Buick diff under her and is 1/2 wider on each side, I have used these on my other 65 as well. On the American's i had them made with 5 1/4 BS anywhere between 5 - 5/12 back spacing works perfect on the back the fronts use 16 X8 with 4 3/4 back spacing ( I had them altered ) for best clearance for a wide tire and a lowered front end :) :TU: my Americans the fronts are 16X7 with 4 1/4 back spacing and do rub a little when on the wagon the rallies dont at all with 1/2 more back spacing
