Might just be lazy

Will try summit
You can ring Wheel Vintqiues direct, that's what I did when having a chat to them about a custom BS. You're after the 63 series:

http://www.wheelvintiques.com/index.php ... eries.html

They are only available in one bolt circle which is 5 x 4.5"

I don't know how you're planning on brining them over but if it's by air I'd suggest giving Mark@WASP a call as he sourced mine. I have the series 63 as well but a standard BS. He may also be able to advise how to go with the custom BS on these wheels.

Sorry Adrian, not true. You can get them in 5x 4". :thumbright:
Had them bookmarked for two years awaiting finances, but other stuff keeps requiring upgrading first.

Viper......Unless it's an A body (pre 73), then its 4.5 PCD. :thumbright:

Thanks Chaps

I may well talk to Mark at WASP

The wheels i have are Genie 10x15 with 5" BS

I'm not sure the 295 will fit and was wondering about a lesser tyre but a 275 60 will be too tall and a 50 too low.....I don't think they do them as a 55.

I'm going around in circles at the moment

I'll offer up one of the wheels I have and go from there
68 Charger 440R/T
66 Sting Ray 427
67 Mustang 390GT Man
68 Corvette Stingray Rdstr
08 FGT

Best of luck with it - you'll get there eventually :) I remember choosing the wheels/tyres on mine and it can be a bit of a minefield. I would have preferred to have gone 15x10 out back but the tyre choice meant I went with 15x8.

Also, if you strike out with Wheel Vintiques you can also give these guys a call:

A few of the guys on the 66/67 forum used them to get 15x10s with a custom BS to suit.

15x10 seem to only be available with a 5.5" BS which is too much for me
I am just having some made with a 4.2" backspace via Summit. $20 extra per wheel and 5 week wait.

I settled on 15 x 8 and 255 x 69 tyres and ws pleased at how much they fill out the arches.

Scroll down the page and you can see how they fit
