My 71 scamp is due for new tires as the ones on it are ancient. The car is stock and restored and I want to keep the 14" wheel size and the original hubcaps but the original wheels are very narrow which really bulges out the sidewalls on even a narrow tire. To get the tires to mount with less sidewall bulge I'd like to go with a wider rim. So to the odd question..
I can get 14x6.5 or 14x7 used 5x4 bolt pattern rally wheels really cheap. Could I mount my OEM hubcaps to them?
I know sticking with the 14's is generally a fairly dumb idea, but I've had this car since I was 14 and it was originally bought new by my grandmother so I kinda like it how it is.
Thanks, -Jon
