Default Wheel size

Hello guys and girls,
I am new here but have been visiting/reading here for the last couple of years and love the site and the community that has developed.
Long story short... "For now"
My son "12" and I bought a 67 project last May and plans are we will have it done by the time he is 16.
We are far from wheels but I came across a set of like new American Racing with BF's @90% for a steal that were on a Chevelle and he is going to rally's.
The front wheels are 7" but the back wheels are 10"...With all the research and measuring I have done I can't see them fitting but I see lots of pics on the internet that the rear wheels look really wide.
My question is,,,will 10" wheels fit in the rear of a 67 ???

Thanks for now,
Paul & Denver

PS. When we get this in the shop and start at it we will be on here regularly and posting pics of the build and asking alot of questions.

Short answer, NO. But with tubs and the right backspacing, MAYBE.

Default Not really

If the backspace is near 5.75" maybe, but you would have to measure it to be sure.
