Largest wheel for an easy swap on 63 Falcon Van / Econoline

Any ideas?

14" x 6" - 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern is stock.

Is there room to go taller or wider without cutting or major work? No rubbing is key.

Anyone else gone through this? I found a set of 15 x 8 chrome rims for a great price, but I'm doubtful they will fit.


Thanks,
Bo

I have a set of old American Racing 200-s 15x7 front and rear with no problem on my '64 Van-up and a set of 15x8's Hildebrand magnesium vintage wheels on my '66 Van-up front and rear, sorry but I don't know the back spacing. Hope this may help, Glenn

Just for fun I test fitted my friends 17x7.5 w 245/40 Hoosier tires today.

Tucked nicely in my lowered '67 ...might have to roll up the fenders a little.

That might be what I have for the rears... the tires on there looked like they would rub. They're bad anyway (came with the rims used). Maybe if I get a narrower rear tire, I'll be okay...

This feedback is helping me out too... gotta know what I'm shopping for.

I have : on the rear 15x8 P255/60/15
on the front 15x7 P225/60/15

The rears are a little tight but I rolled the edge a little.

I have 15X8 Chrysler police car wheels front and back with Cooper Cobra P215/60/15 tires. They don't rub but I couldn't get a bigger tire in the front or rear.

I have 15x8 cragars n the front and 15x10s on the rear of my 61 pick up 4 1/2 backspaceing 185s on the front 265s on the rear no problems

15x10s on the rear

Wide rubber looks cool on vans..............but on wet roads you'll learn what the the phrase "HYDRO-PLANE" means................

BE AWARE.
