Question Wheels?

I thought this would be easy, Tire Kingdom kind of stuff. I want either Cragers or the star type I see on Mustangs. I see them on other older vans on Cardomain, but nobody responds to much of anything there. Where do I find wheels to fit my '63 Econoline?Thanks...

most small pattern ford and dodge cars are the right pattern.
bolt pattern is 5x4.5.
watch the back spacing tho, if they have too much they will rub the tierods. if they dont have enough, or are too wide they will rub the fender lip or wheel well when you turn.

I realize Dodge, Ford and Jeep interchanged in the earlier years, but where do you find them now. Tire Kingdom only goes back to '67.

Call Summit Racing. They will size up the ones you need and they have a lot of styles/ makes available.

67 will work, mustang, cougar, rancheros, and econolines of that vintage.

if tire kingdom doesnt go back any farther, you might want to go somewhere else.

bolt pattern may still be in use on new fords, dont know for sure. ranger had the same pattern a few years ago i know for sure.

you also may want to look at some of the older chevy rims. like mid 60's nova and chevelle. my car hauler has GM-1 hubs on it, and that is the same as the nova and chevelle, and i have my V8 falcon rims on it, and ranger pickup rims on my falcon.

Do a search on this site, and if no luck try a Google search for Ford Wheels..... Might want to first measure the back spacing on your wheels so that you can buy a set that will fit correctly. Some careful measuring in your wheel wells will determine what wheel widths will fit, as long as the backspacing is correct there are a lot of options.
