    Hey guys
    I'm recently a new proud owner of a 65' no door panel
    My question to all is in order to get the proper stance I'm shooting for im going with 14s up from an some fat 15s in the rear
    Can someone tell me the lug  paterm and best size 14 to use
    I'm going for that 70s street rod look
    Jacked up and nose slammed
    So I was thinking maybe a 215/50 14 fronts
    BF Goodrich only ol' skool tire I can find with the raised white letters
    And I'll go with 295/50 15 for rear
    Hope to hear back
    Happy to say I'm a VANNER!

    Also I'm looking for a set of diamond bubbles if anyone has a lead
    Thanks everyone

    Oh I forgit ask most important thing
    To add on to the other questions
    If I were using sizes mentioned
    What would be the proper back spacing for the fronts and rears
    Fronts I was thinking 14x6"
    Rears 15x10"
    Fronts Id like to come as close to the outer well as possible
    Rear I'm going for the 2" past well look
    Thanks guys
    So to wrap it up
    Back spacing?
    Lug pattern?
    And looking for a set of diamond bubbles
    Or something unique mabey flames

    5-lug, 4.5" bolt circle.
    back spacing should be half the rim width. Zero offset is best.

    Most rims for 60s Mustangs, Mavericks, Falcons, Cougars, etc. will work.

    See details about the stock rims here. http://econoline.org/tires.php

    Do you have a picture of the kind of look your going for? That would help. If your buying new rims I'd go 15" all around. Easier to find and ultimate wheel size depends on the tire anyway, and you can go to front disc's if you ever want to.
