    Not sure what you're after. If it's steelies, then '65-'70 or so Ford station wagon wheels are 15x6". Mopar wheels should work, like those on B and C body cars. Older AMC wheels were usually narrower.

    No idea of backspacing. Center hole sizes differ too. I used to use 15x4.5" Studebaker wheels on mine without any sort of problems.

    Up to around '64 Volvo used nice looking steelies, but only 15x4". The centers from those could be used to build some wider wheels with the proper backspacing, but it would involve a wheel shop and bucks.

    Good luck, hope you find a good solution to this dealie.

    The Estate(wagon) has 4.5 " wide wheels. only .5 more but an option.
    Not sure if they fit but I set some Mopar police wheels next to our parts car just for kicks.
    Wife picked out a color for powdercoating on the 4.5" wheels.
