they will work but you will need a wheel spacer to get the right BS. i belelive its something like a 1" but im not sure, someone will chime in who knows for sure though.
seems expensive BTW. ive seen sets go for ( and i wouldnt pay more than) like 3-400
for about 6-800 you can get a real nice set of aftermarket rims that will look better

I dont think the price is that bad if the tires are really as good as he says. Actually I prefer those OEM wheels to alot of the aftermarket crap that is available.

I would rather have Mag 500s or Torque Thrust, or Cragar SS though.

Yes you will need spacers to use them.

Price is definitely too high, I wouldn't pay more that $500 for OEM take offs especially those that have been sitting for a few years. Plus you would need to buy spacers.

I just ordered myself some Vintage Wheel Works V45's for just under $700 and they are meant for our cars, don't need spacers.

Tires are too tall and would need to be replaced

I've never really priced the late model OEM wheels before.

I don't really think the tires would really be to small for a stock 65-66. However, they are not really new tires anyway since they are from 2005.

I didn't realize how old they were before. I wouldn't recommend running older tires even if they look good. In a year or maybe two I would say those tires are too old to use.
