Well, I'm a craigslist addict. I got my front/rear seats all redone in black for $160 off craigslist, I've picked up numerous parts for other vehicles off there and now another part for my "Biscuit" (my new name for the biscayne lol). I got a set off the knockoff GM rally rims in chrome with skinnies (well 215's) in the front and some WIDE deep dish out back. 295/50-15's!!!! These wheels were meant for this car, they barely clear the fender and tuck up in there perfectly. I bounched the car a few times to test for rubbing and none. The kicker, all 4 for $80!!! The tires are a bit old, one of the rims had some paint all over it and the tires. i got the paint off the rim last night and just spray painted the tire for now (it had green, purple and white paint everywhere, like he ran over the hulk) until I can get over to get new ones. The rims were also REALLY dirty and had lots of surface rust, but I got most of it off and for $80, I can't complain! Let me know what you think.

That's what I'm thinking of doing down the road. I love the deep dish on the back!

I couldnt agree more! the dish on the rear looks great. Im wondering did you measure the back space on the rears before you put them on? are they 10inch wide rims? do you have stock diff length?

Thanks

Rear end is stock. I didn't measure anything before I slapped them on. I wanted to see how they fit and MAN did it work out. I figured when I saw how wide the rear rims were and the tires, I thought for sure they would want to stick out. I can measure it tomorrow if you like

I have to take the c out because I think we can only have 7 letters. I thought it was clever :)

They are 15x10's in the rear and looks about 4" of backspacing. The right rear does rub a tad while driving if I hit something big. I'll fix that tomorrow but still, for that wide of a tire I'm surprised!

There was a 66 Biscayne already named that back in 66. It was a 427 425h.p. 4 speed car that I believe is still a record holder to this day because the track it ran at no longer exists. I'll see if I can find a picture and post it. It was a two door,white, radio delete etc. That would be a cool plate though. I'd do it!

This isn't the real one. The real one is owned by a guy not too far from me in Manchester CT. I've seen it at a local car show and supposedly is documented. This one looks just like it.
