I have 15" on mine. At one point i had 16/17" staggered billets. 15" will fit and look great! Congrats!

Thank You, Where is the best place to buy aftermarket parts ,or used parts for these vans? I want the rear a bit higher than stock.

There is not a really a "van specific" site to buy parts, but I use speedwaymotors.com, summitracing.com and if your looking for wheels search manufactures. Foose, American Racing, Billet Specialties, Coys, etc. If your looking for that real vintage look, try Detroit Vintage Wheel. He refurbishes wheels from back in the day. You can also find steel wheels and some ithe rbrands on the two websites I mentioned above also.

If you need van parts, searching on websites like craigslist or ebay or looking here is your best options.

Cowboy welcome to vintage vans. and congrats on your new van. If you are looking at wheels make sure they will accept disc brakes, so if you ever decide to convert over the wheels will fit.

Not to worry cowboy, most of these rides start out as diamonds in the rough. After being neglected and left to rot in barns and in fields of dreams, we bring them back to life. Pics just gets you better help sometimes and lets everyone see where your starting from. Can't waite to see the old girl.
