Need some advice on wheels for a 64 galaxie

So I finally have saved enough money to purchase wheels and tires for my galaxie. I'm needing sizing advice diameter and back spacing tire size . I'm wanting to run astro supreme style wheels . My car has been lowered about 3 inches with a slight rake in the front. Also I would like to keep the ability to run with fox craft skirts . Any advice will help or pics of anybody's setups , or different wheel suggestions

Nice wagon man! Where did you purchase your wheels? What kind of back spacing do you have?

I bought them from summit racing. I believe 535.00 shipped. They have two backspace options and mine are the"standard " backspace. 2.875 inch. Wheel Vintiques series 23 wheels. Then I got bullet center caps on eBay. The completely change the look of the wheels!

Astros...for sure!

 

Does anybody know where to purchase a nice quality made astro

 

Or can anybody explain standard or reverse style Astros I have looked at them and can't tell the difference

 

the only thing wrong with this galaxie is it needs more side wall and lifted up about 4 inches

 

Yep

 

make shur they are round. lol seriously how about coker red lines. traditional and a bit different. also period correct

 

You need this set of 63 1/2 HiPo caps and factory wheels I have setting in my shop.

The problem is they belonged to a lost friend and I'll probably never sell them.

But they are what that car needs!

 

Standard or reverse refers to the offset. A standard has a shallow lip, while a reverse is deep.

If it were me, I'd be thinking about 14" reverse supremes with a thin white wall tire. I really like your car and I'd like to see it once you get some new wheels.

Definitely go 14s man! I'm running 14 reversed Supremes on my 62 Impala (similar body style to the Galaxie).

 

Nice impala , man 14s look good I'm just worried about ground clearance with 14s

Nice! 14x6 or 7?

Thanks! I'mm runnin 14x6s... And if you lower that Galaxie right you'll have zero clearance issues. I have a couple buddies with 64 Galaxies that are tastefully low and set up right. Both run 14s too. IMHO 15s look kinda alien on a long, low '60s ride.

Kinda looks like this one......

 

14x6 supremes


14x7 reversed starwire. I can get the tire sizes if you want.

 

.....Or you could go with a set of these....

 

As far as quality goes make sure you get the ones that are reinforced on the back side. And also I am pretty sure your came factory with 14' wheels.

 

15x7 astro supremes on mine

Also my 14/6 supremes I can run skirts on the reversed 14/7 Starwires I can not. Just something else to keep in mind.

 

Summit racing has the rights too Astros supremes they go by (American racing) I think on there site

They are 14s but I'm running a big fat tire with the stock steel wheels

I got em used on CL (set of 5 on nice pinner whites). They're the nice, reinforced U.S. Wheel ones.
