Maybe you could find a couple of 14" Granada rims. They had a slightly deeper offset, which would look good on there."It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out." - H.G. Wells

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..... Originally Posted by MelloYello

You can do the 15's, they just won't need to be so tall.

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.
