How about this for wheel choice?

Sure [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Just make sure your tire of choice is a Black Wall.

Are those 14&quot; or 15&quot; ?

Do you have another complete set of YA's for when you do paint her Cortez Silver [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

They're 15 X 7. Thinking of a 235/60/15 tire size all around. Do you think I'll have any tire-rub problems with that size?

235 is a max front tire with 15's....but greatly depends on the front wheel backspace. I have had 235's rub slightly on the lower front fender lower lip....but I believe that was with 15x8 front wheel.

Back in the 1980s we ran 235/60R15 Eagle STs on 71-72 Chevelle SS steel 5-spoke 15x7 wheels (all 4 corners) on a stock ride height '69 Chevelle. They fit with plenty of room and never rubbed anywhere on a daily driven car. I think those Chevelle / Z28 15x7s had 4.25&quot; backspace, but I am not 100% sure. Hope this helps.

Wrong assumption.
Using it as is until I can find a clean used one for a good price.
