On the topic, 65-69 Corvairs had 4-3/4" on 5, 60-64 Corvairs and Chevy II had 4-1/2 on 4.

I have one 13" late Corvair wheel, 5 bolt, 4-3/4", anybody want it? even has a flat, twin thin stripe bias ply WW on it. FREE, come and get it or pick it up in Daytona.

rickyracer, shut the fuck up.


Most Brit saloons and lowly models were shod with 13s in the 50s and 60s. Ford Consul and Zephyr full sized sedans had 13" 5 lug wheels. My AH Sprite had 13" Rostyle wheels. Datsuns and Toyotas had 13s. Most other Brit upper class and sporty models ran 15s. Austin taxis ran 16s, a common swap these days for our rotten toothed cousins across the pond when building rat rods.

Oh and Renaults had 3 lug 13" wheels throughout the 60s to early 80s. THREE lug, what the fuck???

A harder quiz, what cars ran 10" wheels?
