I have a set of 245/45 x 20 Kumho tires on the wife's 300S. They wear well and handle well for a lesser price than some of the name brands.

I think years ago, Hot Rod or PHR did an article about the donut spare wheels from an 80s or so T bird. They were supposedly 15 x 4 with a 4 1/2" pattern. I could be wrong, my memory ain't what it used to be. LOL

The website is still up and active, give them a call.

If it's the guy out of Burlington KS, I stopped at his place about 5 years back. He and his people were pretty knowledgeable and friendly. I was given a tour of the shop and yard, and was overall treated very well.

Use your search engine to find companies that straighten wheels. Stockton used to work on them. I sent a Centerline to them years back because I couldn't find a replacement at the time. The wheel came back as good as new.

One my street cars I ran a 185/80 15, I believe they were made for Volvos. I found that the 185 had better street manners than the 165 on wet roads.

I haven't seen any 13" trim rings in quite a while, I'm sure there are some out there. But who knows what kind of price tag they come with.

Check the rule book for the sanctioning body at the track, or check with the tech people at the track. I run long studs on my car because I've see what can happen.

The 10 hole wheels are for 5 x 4 1/2" BC and 5 x 4 3/4" BC. They WILL NOT fit the standard A body 5 x 4" BC.

Look into a 205-70x14 or something close, your tire distributor should be able to get you close to what your are looking for.

As stated, unilug wheels are for 5x4 1/2 or 5x4 3/4. I think Rocket made a unilug wheel that fit 5x4 and 5x4 1/2, but that was probably 40 to 50 years ago. The trick to the unilug wahers is to cinch them up finger tight, making sure the washer in in the inset. Don't let the tire monkeys take...

Before I jumped off & bought wheels & tires, I'd jack the car up, take the current wheels & tires off, put it on jack stands under the rear axle & lower control arms . From there, I'd start measuring for back spacing, front spacing & over all width. Most of the tire manufacturers have the specs...

My question is, "Who created the rats nest wiring?". That would be the first thing I would address.

Buying aftermarket aluminum wheels is a crap shoot. Just remember, "You get what you pay for". I've run aftermarket wheels for decades, but there were purchased from reputable dealers & were brand name wheels. What all of the manufacturers moving overseas, there is is little of no quality...

That's just it, no one knows what your "grand plan" is because you haven't provided enough information. What will the car be used for, a cruiser, a stop light bandit, a daily driver, a combo street & drag car? The list is endless, we have no idea what shocks, what torsion bars , what size...

The center cap for the SBP Keystone wheels usually have SHK-4 in raised characters on the inside, at least the originals did.

They were produced in 14", no 15" for SBP. I had 6", 8" & 10" years ago. The 8" & 10" didn't fit the Darts & Valiants because of the offset.

Leanna knows of what she speaks, she gave some advice to a coater that I used close to home. Unfortunately, Covid ended up shutting them down so now I'm searching for another coater in my area.

Wires were also available in 68, I have a set of the wire hub caps from my 68 Formula S 340 Barracuda.

Keystones were popular back then, but finding a set these days might be a little tough.

Rather than relying on someone to tell you if there is a problem, jack the car up, crawl under it & do a complete inspection of the entire front suspension. Check for deterioration of all of the bushings, check for excessive play in any of the other suspension parts & pieces.

If the tires are scalloped, that usually indicates bad shocks.

Find another shop that knows older cars.

Stay after them, their inventory changes daily. It took me about 3 months to score a pair of original Centerline caps to match the pair I had.

Lugnut King may have what you are looking for, but they won't have the manufacturers center emblem. You can find these on their site on Ebay, but I'd contact them with your measurements to make sure they will fit. Good luck with your search.

I can't see your car from my house, need more information.

Unless you are going to be canyon carving or auto crossing, you 1/2" clearance will b e fine. I ran 295/50 x 15's on a B body with 1/4 to 3/16 clearance, tires never touched the springs.

Vintique wheel, my buddy ordered 15 x 7 Rally wheels for his 72 Duster with 5 on 4" pattern from them.

My vote goes for the Cragar S/S wheels, that's what I was used to seeing along with Keystone K lug.

Get a square & hold it against the flat portion of the brake drum, measure from the back edge of the square to the front face of the rear tub, subtract at least an inch, that is your back spacing. Measure from the back of the square to the finder lip & subtract an inch. Add the two measurements...
