    Can someone tell me, what the original wheel size should be on a 1967 Dodge A100 Custom Sportsman? I want to put steal rims on the front and don't know what the size should be.

    My understanding is it depended on the year but the stock for my year was 5.5 X 14 with the 6 X 15 optional (or standard on a heavy duty package).

    I have never spotted 13's on one, but they were optional . You could pretty much order anything you wanted back then.

    My '66 had the original wheels and tires on it when I bought it. It has the heavy duty package, so the tires are 8.15 x 15 bias-ply.

    According to my sales brochure, the non HD vans and trucks had 7.75x14 bias-ply tires.

    I always liked those rims, I'd run them on my van if I had a set. I've got a set of 14x7 slots on mine and am either going to swap the rears for 15x9 slots or swap them all out for 15x7/15x9 chrome smoothies.
