Re: Tire diameter



Kevin,

Are you trying to keep the original spinner hubcaps or are you getting
aftermarket wheels?  I put 15 inch wheels on the rear of my 63, but I
wanted to keep the original big spinner hubcaps.  I got a pair of 15
inch trim rings (i.e. beauty rings) and tack welded my original
hubcaps to them.  They look like they belong and pop on and off like
hubcaps should.
