    Hey gurus, I have some questions about my rims if someone could help me:

    1. My tire size is 215/70/R14. What size is my rim width in inches?

    2. Does anybody know the rally rim size that came with the 1973 GS?

    3. What is the best place to buy a set of rally rims for my 73 Century (any condition)? What part number to look for; what do I look for as far as spacing?

    I have all the stock rims and hubs which are in absolute excelent condition, but it makes the vehicle look so grandma. Before I painted the Galaxie, I bought som Cragar S/S rims and it changed the whole look to a much better style even with a rust colored body. Since I am not ready to do the bodywork yet, I want to give my baby some curb appeal.

    Pleaes help me to transform my Century's look from "Grandma" to "Get out of my way"

    :3gears:

    Thanks!

    Almost all of the 1973-1974 GS cars came with 15x7 Ralleys but,I have a 15x8 that was off of a 1977 Regal.This is the only rim I have off of this car and can't verify that they all were the same size.14X6 STEEL RIMS(HUBCAP TYPES)and 15x7 seem tobe the common types.
    Would you be interested in registering your car in my 1973-1975 Century GS registry?I am trying to get as much information for these cars and would appreciate any help given.Please email me your adress and I will send some things to fill out.All personal items(name,adress,vin info)will be kept strictly confidential with me alone.
