wheels for 1961 Vette

[John H.]

I've been away for a while - I know this subject was discussed on the old board. Need a little help to identify 6" wide 15" wheels that will work on my '61 to accommodate new radial tires and provide clearance in the wheel wells.
Thanks, John.

John,

There was a restorer article a few years back about using 15 X 6 steel wheels off a S-10 as a low budget substitute for the look of wide wheels and dog dish caps. I think the center hole requires slight enlargement with a drum sander to clear the front hubs, but otherwise everything fits and looked great according to the writer of the article.
