hi i just bought a 1966 impala 4 door post car im having trouble finding rims and tires in my area i do have a set of reverse chrome rims that came off a astro van i thought they would fit after buying them they dont fit they are a larger lug pattern :crying so i was wondering if anyone has had good luck with a set of 1.5 inch thick wheel spacers will they bolt on with my standard wheel studs? i havent bought them yet i would really like to use these rims they are really nice im not going to be driving any time soon theres alot of repairs i have to make no engine or trans driveshaft or rear end yoke and the gas tanks smashed and the brake booster is gone i will be getting it back thou so right now im going to worry about the appearence instead the spacers are 5x4.75 to 5x5 there about 80 bucks so for 200 i could have a nice set of rims and tires on it right now it only has 3 rims and tires one is my dads and i would like to be able to move it around the yard to work on the body do you think i should use the spacers or should i just buy a different set of rims all togather?thanks for your post im new to the forum

I've got no experience with the kind of spacers that you are referring to. But I would question their safety, as well as possible clearance problems. I would definitely go with a set that fit like the originals, in my opinion anyway.

ok i apperciate this because i was questioning the offset difference and might run into the fenders they are pretty big in size not sure ecxactly would have to go out and look but im probably going to go with a different set of rims just because the safety on them ive installed on a monte carlo before and had some off centering problems and not sure if they would even fit on the lugs so im deffently ganna stay away from them thanks again guys

i acccually found a nice set of camaro 1969 rims and tires for 75 bucks woo hoo and i got them on it now but all the tires went flat lol but i like them they look good on it nice period correct parts i know there alittle newer then the car but look awesome it kinda looks like a low rider lmao the rear springs are shot and it doesnt have a motor or trans in so it sits all the way up in the front and super low in the back
