Anybody know where these wheels are from?
I know these are just some reps but these are the first i've seen that clear the 65's brakes. Or at least whenever you shop online they never show fitment for a 65 for these reps.

Just call or email the company selling them. Those are cheap cast wheels that only come in 2 offsets for the size. That car might even be running spacers as well.

I have these on my car and they clear just fine. I have the big brake kit same as 65 and 55K cars. No spacers needed if you want I can get extra info on exact sizing. Mine are 20s.

The 65 has a completely different offset than the 500/55/600 CL's. All of those share the same offsets.

The car pictured was a 65 and not a 500/55/600. The guy might of bought some wheels but didn't clear the brakes so he added the spacers for more clearance and ending up with the final stance as pictured. I'm not sure what brakes you have on your car (can't remember if they were upgraded to a 55 spec or if he went with 65 brakes, never mind, looking at the pictures yours looks like a 55's brakes), it makes a huge difference on clearances as you know. Its really hard giving fitment advise for that very reason. On top of that, I believe you have a 9.5 rear with a +35 offset which will not fit the 65 properly.

R.K so I take my comment back but I had no idea that the offsets were actually different between both cars. I have the 55K brakes if I'm not mistaken but will def double check this to make sure.
