View Full Version : LOOKING FOR - 4 bolt 15" wheels

We are in the final stages of a rotiserie restoration, along the way we upgraded the front brakes to power disc brakes. Now we want to give the full wheel-well look without going too big, so I think 15" wheels would look great, but I am having a tough time finding a 15" with a 4 bolt pattern.
Does anyone have any suggestions other than going to a new rear end and new front spindles?
thanks

I don't think they made them from Ford, did they? You'll probably only find 14" stock.
Contact Stockton Wheel - they can make anything, almost.

I think you're right. I've only seen 14" four-lug. There are different versions that take either a small or large wheel cover. That allows for more room on the inside to convert to disk brakes.
They also make some adapters but I don't know if they'll work in this particular instance. Also, I would do a lot of research on the safety of these. They may have gotten better with more modern material but they used to be a little sketchy and prone to breaking at high speeds. Probably not fun! :WHATTHE:

Been checking around an no one seems to recomend the wheel adaptors, and top it off when you do find them they want almost as much as each wheel.
I have located a couple places that do have something similar to the steel wheels for a reasonable price, right around $100 each wheel, not bad considering these will just bolt up.
Question is do I need to get a specific off-set since I went discs in the front?
If so, how to I calculate it?

I bought some 15" wheels for mine and they fit nicely. I ordered them in a 15x6 (cant remember the offset but I will see if I can measure soon for you) from Early Wheel Company in Morro Bay California. I also ordered the 40 Ford hubcaps for them due to preference however the old dog dish falcon caps from my 61 fit on them if you go that route.
