Move wheel inwards .
That would depend on if the offset is positive or negative .
Something to note when working on a 40 odd year old Chev, do not assume that everything is symmetrical.
A BS Of 5.3/4'' may work on one side but not the other.
The thing to keep an eye on is clearance on full lock, tyre to chassis clearance to the frame

Not being symmetric is so true Bfit.
You can do you mind in if you start trying to compare body measurements side to side.
Manufacturing tolerances at the time these cars were built were fairly loose :-)

Thanks Gents.
Also Bob thanks for passing on the details for contacts at Vansteel , hopefully they will look after me for the suspension upgrade parts required.
Cheers

Confusing topic, I thought 73-76 used 15x8" offset: -1mm backspace 4.5", Std OEM tyre 225/70R15.
So? if you go up to 18" dia - do the other diamentions stay the same esp if the width remains at 8" ?????????
