Re: 65 Suburban. Need advice
Some very nice Suburbans guys. I think that I wanna go with the nub style wheels. It stinks cause I got a nice set of four 15x8 rallys that are too wide for the front, and a nice set of four 15x5.5 nub wheels that are not wide enough for the rear. I been searching and it looks like I need to find a pair of 15x8 nub style wheels. Of course there look to be none close to where I live. Closest ones I found are over 8hrs away and he don't want to ship....I know the 7 inch six lug rallys are hard to find, but are 8 inch nub wheels just as scarce??

Re: 65 Suburban. Need advice
On my 64 Bodied, 62 Chassis, I got some Vintiques 62-5805044 15x8 and hit a great fit front and rear with 4.25" backspace, no fender mods. I believe you could actually put 15X9" on the back with a 4.75 or 5" backspace, which would take a custom wheel from another supplier. My rear end is stock with 5 bolt conversion. Front end is converted to coils with a big static drop from spindles and modified A arms, so may not be the same for yours.

Re: 65 Suburban. Need advice
Well weather been crappy lately but did finally get some suspension stuff done. Put 3 inch drop springs up front and 2 inch drop blocks out back. Put 5.5" nub wheels up front with 215/65/15 and 8" nub wheels out back with 275/60/15. Im happy with the ride quality. If I do go disk brakes and drop spindles later I got room to go down.
