    Will 65 wheels fit a 66?

    Is the back spacing on 65 wheels or 63-65 wheels adequate fit fit over the disc brakes on a 66?
    It looks as though there are no more after market 66 wheels being made.


    Thanks everyone.

    Darwin, I have some 65 steel wheels off of a 65 with disc brakes, which are the same brake configuration as the 66, I believe.

      Darwin,

      I believe the 63 - 64 wheels won't fit a 65 or a 66. But 65 and 66 are the same, except for I assume the 65 disc brake delete cars.

        63/64 wheels are designed for drum brakes.....will not fit 65/66 Corvettes. 65/66 are designed for disc brakes, no issues there. 65/66 wheels will also fit 63/64 as well.

          1965 - 66 disc brake wheels are the same for both years -- part #3869156 .

            As I remember the very first 1965 Corvettes made had drum brakes. I do not know if the wheels installed on these very early 1965 Corvettes were the 63-64 drum brake wheel or the 65-66 disc brake wheel. The 63-64 Corvette wheels will not fit on disc brake cars. Most 1965 Corvettes had disc brakes. The 1965-1966 Corvette wheel for disc brakes is GM # 3869156.

            The 63-64 wheels have the same offset as the 65-66 wheels.
