Look like 14" wheels too.

Absolutely not true for a '67 Z-28. Rear bumper guards were not a mandatory part of the Z package until 1968.

That's because the lack of torque from that lil' 302 would let them roll back into the car behind them at red lights or hilly parallel parking.

Rear bumper guards were not standard equipment on 67 Z's.

Those are 14-inch Disc Brake wheels with D70s. Same setup as disc '67 SS's.



These are 15-inch Disc Brake '67 Z/28 wheels as seen on the prototype. Note difference in diameter of both the wheels and the tires.

So the prototype 67 Z must have had solid lifters.......

The prototype Z has a rear spoiler too; never offered in 67. Bumper guards were an option in 67, included in the Z28 package in 68 and 69.

As for the wheels, I think the color and location of the stripe are deceiving between the two pictures. They both look like 15&quot; wheels to me.
