Art, the wheel is a 15 x 6. you can go wider if you choose not to use the fender skirts.

Thanks Robin . You have a good rim for Sale? I know a woman who has a terrible bent rim and wants to replace it.

Is anyone running Halibrand replicas? Can someone tell me if the 17x9's will fit? With fender skirts? Kind Regards

Just pulled these 20 x 8 1/2 off a 66 and they fit with the skirts. They are Wheel Replics. Maybe back space of the wheel also has somrthing to do with fit, Don't really know not a after market wheel expert

Hey boaterbob, thanks.
I'm new to the forum.
I just bought my first Thunderbird, a '64 convertible.
It came with the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels. Not my personal favourite.
Wanting to keep it period correct as possible I've chosen the Halibrands.
Ford used them in the sixties on the Cobra's and GT40's I believe.
Kind Regards
