    Wheels/Rim Question

    Seems the NASCAR guys used 15' rims on 58-60 Birds rather than the stock 14'. Anyone have a clue where I can get a set of wheels for my NASCAR Clone Project? Thanks

    Any Ford 15" rim will fit. They all have the same bolt pattern. Most full size Fords from 65 on up used 15" rims so you should be able to find some at the junk yard. As far as what they used back in the day maybe truck rims as all the passenger cars had 14" rims.

      Measure the center to center distance between two studs directly across the hub from each other. I put old style Cragars on my '60 "Christine" and I love-em

        Richard, what size tires did you put on your 15's?
