Before I cart my '65 to the body shop, I want to pull off the knock offs and put on a cheap set of used wheels. What wheels are easy to find and will fit a '65 with 4 wheel discs? Thanks

Its been said here to use the mini donut from a S10 pickup as a spare...so these junkyard wheels should work

maybe, maybe not; they may not clear the C2 calipers, which are larger than later floating calipers

They should clear just fine. I have one of the S-10 mini spares for my C2. Get one from a junk yard and try it on for size. I used mini spares while building my 32 Ford and they worked great.

How "mini" are they? It is a twenty mile drive to the body shop. Would these be safe?

just pick up a set of 15 X 7 rally wheels, they are cheap and easy to resell

Why not buy wheel dollies? 100.00 from northern or harbor freight. Unless you do not have a set of wheels. S-10 spares will work u can take off the calipers if you need to. I used 14 x 5s on my c1 with trailer tires and it worked well.

yes, just be careful with your braking (not much rubber on the ground..)

Any old chevy S10 blazer wheels should work.

Sure they'll be safe...and you'll have another $15K in body work by the time you get to the shop. I wouldn't do it....

I would get some real wheels then you would always have them as a back up. You can possibly cut a deal for wheels with tires already mounted. For the temporary situation in the body shop I think wheel dollies are a great idea....keeps the body techs from running out to pick up lunch at Taco Bell in your car too..

I did not get the part you want to drive with them...

Find a '70s Chevy that had 6" Rallys and go junkyard huntin'. They should clear the calipers AND the fenders with stock-width tires.

Find a set of cheap wheels that fit and flat bed her to the shop.

No driving on junkyard tires for me. Why take a chance?
