Yes you can, but figure on about $350. for the four specialized spacers you'll need to make them work. Depending on the price of the wheels it may or may not be worth it.

If I may recommend this guy for the spacers. [skulte@eagle.he.net] he did right by me but I cant remember his company name.

I made extentions out of threaded rod and kept adding washers until I determined how wide of spacer I needed.

Good Luck!

Yes...Yes you can!

Yes, it's quite possible. I've got them on my 67 and I think they're great!

You'll need the 2" adapters out back and 1.5" adapters in front, as others have already pointed out. Not cheap, but the results are well worth it.

Here's some pics:

Now if I could just afford some bodywork....
