Maybe you could find a couple of 14" Granada rims. They had a slightly deeper offset, which would look good on there.
Great points, Gents, glad I posted this. I wonder what a Satin dark Ford Blue would do behind them? The stripe on the side of the Fairlane is a very dark blue. Thanks again Y'all, Em
Footnote: after some measurements,, I ?may? be able to get 15s to work all the way around, if they will pass the front wheel turning radius test.

My personal opinion is if you wanna use a "color" on the rims, put a little hubcap on it. If you go with the spoke wheel covers, stick to black on the rims. Sometimes it's a short trip from cool to cheesy.....;);):3dSMILE::3dSMILE:Quote:

Satin Black it is then - - - now I gotta find me a good junkyard to go rim picking in - - - TA
Had no luck finding any kind of old Ford rims around here so I chose plan B and I am happier than a possum in a persimmon tree. I went to a Tire shop that my youngest son, Bo, recommended and they took me under their wing and together we got the perfect fit IMHO. He even tried two sizes on a front tire and two sizes on a rear tire to make sure with no extra charge for his trouble. What I ended up with was 205/65/15 in front verses the older 195/70/14 and 215/60/15 in rear verses the older 205/60/16. Total cost was only $333.41 which I thought was very good. I personally think that the stance is as good as I could have asked for.

Looks great, M!!!! Congrats!!! Always great to find a shop who will take care of you, too!:3dSMILE::3dSMILE:
Looks soooooo much cleaner! Like it very much!
To quote "The Fonz": Perfectamundo!!!
It looks great and that's awesome they did that for free. No tire shops around here will do that.
I give it an A+ Em. Period perfect look and stance. Did you put some wheel locks on it? Nolan
Looks Fantastic Em.
I had some good guidance from some Sixties Hippies LOLQuote:
