70 Z/28 Wheels
Hello, I need a set of 4 70 Z/28 wheels. They must be 70. There is a difference. Email any questions or call 520-349-2337. I have several sets of 72 to trade or sell if anyone is intersted. I'm not having to much luck on this site with wanted items so I hope it gets better. Thanks, Larry.

Re: 70 Z/28 Wheels
Larry, Just to clarify your search, are you looking for the EARLY (1st design) 70' ONLY wheel with the 5/8"x1" air valve clearance hole ???? It might be helpful to know the build date of your Z-28, so as we could more easily look for wheel dates.....While your at it, be sure and find 1st design trim rings.....and hopefully you have embossed BOWTIE center caps....

Re: 70 Z/28 Wheels
Here's an excellent website, which explains the specific changes that these wheels went through.

Re: 70 Z/28 Wheels
Larry, I find it very interesting that your 07E Z-28 has the 5/8"x1" Hole wheels. Over at the 2nd gen Camaro site ( www.nastyz28.com ) this subject has been discussed before.....and we did a small amount of research also. WE thought the 5/8" to 13/16" changeover occurred in the April-June timeframe....as May-June build date owners have reported having 13/16 hole wheels....and now YOU talk about your 5/8" Spare. Could you PLEASE report back with EXACT date/code stamping on your spare with 5/8" hole......

Re: 70 Z/28 Wheels
Hello, the spare tire is dated K10 2-4 with the 5/8 hole. I never had looked at the date of my wheels on the car. They are all 13/16 and dated K10 7-2. I had always assumed I needed 5/8 and had never looked at the other 4 dates. I had looked at the Stegmiller site but never saw where it changed during the 70 year. So whats up with the spare being 5/8 unless it was changed sometime. Thanks for all the responses and imfo its very helpfull. Larry
