Rims for 1965 Parisienne with potential disk brakes question
Permalink  

Hey there.

Does anyone know the parameters of 15 inch rims that can be put over disk brakes on 1965 Parisienne CS by any chance?

I'm thinking of installing disk brakes and that will involve wheels change as well, as I believe someone said the original 14 inch won't fit. Also i saw on other forums that Rally rims won't fit disk brakes.

I was thinking of 15x7 American Racing with similar to Rally design, like these guys for instance https://www.summitracing.com/parts/are-vna695761

As long as you're using the smaller single piston 69/70 B caliper or an A type conversion, then I'd confidently say any standard or aftermarket 15" wheel will work, including a GM Rally.

The bigger 4 piston caliper for the B Body 67-68, or the Corvette C3 67-82 needs a wheel with a deeply scalloped face to clear the wide caliper. A 15" Rallye style wheel will clear the big caliper, along with many Torque Thrust or Cragar styled wheel.

 

These images illustrate how the big/small caliper sit in relation to the wheel mounting face.

 As far as I ever saw, all the OEM Rally rims (15") will clear disc brakes.

Yup, I have a set of 15 by 5 inch that came on the 67 full size with disc brakes. (4 piston) Anything of that size or bigger should certainly fit.

 I saw some comments on amazon regarding some rally rims that they won't fit. Non OEM of course though.
