steel wheel decode
 

Can anyone ID a steel wheel for me? Code XC..they are on a 69 Chevelle 300 post. The car has drum brakes all around. Will these wheels clear disc brakes? Thanks.

Those are 1969 Chevelle Base model rims,also used on 1965-68 Passenger & Wagons.All without Disk brakes.
I have one here that looks like it would fit.It has a one inch offset,but I can't be certain...

Albert,
Colvin shows 69 chevelle base passenger 14x5.I would think they clear power brakes.Must have been an rpo option.Earl

If it cross references back to '65, I'll bet it won't clear discs. They're pretty easy to identify, as the disc brake wheel outer rim pretty much stays flat from the inner wheel lip to the inside mounting surface. Drum brake wheels tend to taper inward toward the center at a slant, roughly similar to the drum that fits inside of it.
