American Racing Wheels on a 57

[Robert Willis]

I am thinking of putting a set on my 57. 15 X 6 if I can get them. I think 7 inchers would be to wide. Has anyone tried them on a 56 or 7 ?

Re: American Racing Wheels on a 57

I am also looking to buy a set of mags for driving for my 62. Mike do you have a picture of your car with the AR's?

I think I can fit 15 x 6 with 3.375" backspace (3/8" offset?) on my 62 with 225/70R15 RS-A's. Can someone confirm these will fit? Looking at Crager SS's.

Thanks, Chris

I used to run 15X7 and 15X8 American Magnesiums on my '58 way back when it was a tow car for my '52 Olds. I think I ysed F-70 15 tires on those and the rears needed the 7 inch width to clear the fenders with the 8's up front.
