I've been searching this a while, across various sources. My car has some very nice original wheel covers, but I don't want to lose any, and I've always liked wheels better. I'm not trying to do anything extreme like a donk, lowrider, or pro-touring; just something with a late-60s, early-70s custom vibe.
How have you guys found something that would fit, especially with the stock drum brakes? Here's what I know:
- Bolt pattern is 5 x 5.5
- Studs are 9/16" (not the more common 1/2)
- Hub bore is "big"
- Stock wheels are 15x6
- Current tires are 235/75/15
Questions:
- Most online shops either don't have Imperial at all, or list a 5 x 4.5", which is definitely wrong
- Is there some more common vehicle I can use as an equivalent?
- It seems like older Rams or Ford F150 might be the same, but I'm not sure about the hub size?
- Thoughts on the widest tire or wheel I can run without modification? (15x6 doesn't have a lot of options)
- Backspacing? I don't even know what I should be looking for
I like the Rocket Igniter, (reminds me of the original Batmobile) but since Holley bought them, they might be discontinued? It's hard to find much of anything in 5 x 5.5".
