I wanna get a 64 Impala but I wanna put 24‘s on it would I have to put a lift kit on it when I find one for the rims? Another vehicle I was looking to get was a 66 Chevy step side would that need a lift kit on it for the rims? The rim size I was wanting to put on it are 26‘s, also is painting with candy paint any different than other types of paint? I plan on doing all the work myself cause I don‘t wanna pay a sh^t ton of my money for a car I want made my way just to have someone else do it how they want it
Stock tire OD is 25.6 inches. If you can find a tire that has a .8 inch side wall you will not need to put a lift on it. That would be one hard ride! You can always blister the fender wells and tub it. This would not be the only changed needed! The speedometer and odometer would not read right. Off the line performance would be hurting because of the increased lever arm of the tires. The offset required to keep the scrub radius down might be impossible to find also. If you want the car to work right, consider staying with a 17 or less rim.
There are larger rims then there are HUGE rims - You want the Huge rims. You're going to have to lift anything short of a duce--a-half.
You find a 64 Impala, that hasn't been restored and can be restored. I'll kiss you butt. Those cars were hard to find twenty years ago. Maybe you'll get a stripped 4 door, but a 2 door isn't available cheap. The step side is the same story. Do you have a time machine ? That's the only way you'll get either of those Chevy's for less than 5 grand and in bad shape. By the way they both have huge fender space. It all comes down to offset on the wheels and how wide you want them.
