friend of mine wants to switch from his 68 dog dish,14 inch wheels for his camaro with disc brakes to a 15 inch wheels with dog dish caps with disc brakes.
Anyone know what wheel code that would be for him to search for?

Re: 15 in wheel code
According to Alan Colvin's Chevrolet by The Numbers 1965-69...Assuming the car is a '68
-The wheel application is as follows... *15x6 Passenger, taxi & police wheel code is XT Sal [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: 15 in wheel code
Pretty sure YZ is the code he needs. This is a '69 big car disc brake application. If he doesn't care about codes, there are a lot of mid-late 1970s wheels that will work.

Re: 15 in wheel code
XT's are 14x7. The above reference is not a good one. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 15 in wheel code
As an Impala guy (owned many 68 SS427 disc brake cars), I can tell you 100% that there is no 15 inch wheel that will clear the 68 4 piston calipers other than the DC Rally wheels. The guys who are running stamped steel wheels on 67-68 cars are running Corvette rotors and doing some non-stock modification to run them. If you are interested, drop a note over at Impallss427.com and ask what they are doing. The 68 and 69 15x6 stamped wheels were only available one drum brake or later single piston caliper applications. Those 4 piston calipers are massive and the 15 inch steel wheels will not mount on the hub/rotor assembly without rubbing. That is why you find black painted DC wheels on several disk brake full size cars. They had full wheel covers on them and that was the only wheel that would clear the 4 piston deal.
