    Wheels, hubcaps...

    Guys,

    I have a question. I have 4 wheels on my 59 which are after martket from the 80's I guess with fake wire wheels. I will change the radial tires back to the bias 800x14 and I want to switch back to the original hubcaps.

    I have an extra pair of Mustang 65 steel wheels.

    First question, what width shoukd I go for with my 800x14 tires ?

    Second, will the original hubcaps fit on either wheel ? Is the fixture of hubcaps universal ??

    Thanks for your help.

    Nicolas

    The original rims were 14 x 5.5. Any Ford 14" rim that has the correct 5 x 4.5 hole spacing should work. I wouldn't go larger than 14 x 6 though with the 800x14 tires. The stock hubcaps will work on either rim.
