In the process of fitting 15x7 American vn309's to the rear w/255/70/15's. Old school build will include 14x6 E/T's and new somethings on the front. Will install longer wheel studs to accommodate the thicker wheels on the rear.
Also, will remove one or two leaves from the 7 leaf old drag springs.
Chose a wheel that I felt fit the period look I was going for. You can't really go wrong with a 5 spoke wheel.
Mine are American Racing 15x8 wheels with 225/70/15 tires.
Gotta love the old Torque Thrust style wheels. They used to be "It" in years gone by, but you almost never see them anymore. Perfect for someone doing a 60's retro-style though. :tu

Wheels are SS Cragar knockoffs by Speedy (Aussie manufacturer?)
Wheels are a steel version of the SS Cragar`s
Just installed Cragar S/S rims to 57.
