Where is the best place to get steel wheels and dog dish center caps ? Its for a 64 Belvedere. Anyone know the largest rear wheel I can run without any modifications ( size and offset ). Would you run a 15 x 5 on front ? Any help is appreciated. Tire sizes also. Going for a cool,Max Wedge clone look.

A junkyard for the wheels and caps. You will need to have the wheels widened to get the proper BS. 15 X 8 with 4.5� BS minimum on the rear w/275 60-15.

A guy had a pair of 15 X 4 Stude wheels for the front for sale in the classifieds this month or last, they weren�t cheap.

Easy to sink $1000 in a correct set of wheels and tires by the time you�re done.

Summit/WV wheels aren�t correct for early B bodies � the centers are too small. OP never said he wanted correct wheels though, so�

Wheel vintiques makes a wheel that takes the 10 1/8 " early cap. They are listed as an early ford wheel. They have 5" and 8" wheels with 3" and 4.25 backspace. As far as I know you will have to buy the correct caps used.
