In looking for wheels/rims for '59 Tbirds what are the measurements one has to have? 14" x 5.5? What about backspacing? What size is the standard rim that came on our '59 Birds from the factory?
I am thinking of seeing if I can find a nice set of mag wheels/rims to really set Rose off. Chrome, powdered, aluminum? Which way to go? I gather that 14" mag type wheels/rims are not easy to come by. I guess they are to small these days. I know they have to be 14" unless I change them out to 15", which I dont want to do now. But in searching for some fancy rims, what other figures must I know about to make sure I get a set that will fit on my Bird? What is the proper lug arrangement? I know there are 5 lugs, but I understand there are different patterns..
Any information and recommendations is appreciated.
