    Can someone please help here. I don't have stock wheels on my car and would like to put the stock rally wheels on.
    What size are the wheels that fit on my car?
    Do you usually run a deeper wheel in the back and a narrower one in the front?
    What size tires will fit in the wells without rubbing?
    What would be a proper tire to run to make it look stock from the factory? What did they come off the factory floor with?

    Also any suggestions on where I can find rally wheels with the center caps?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Looks good, are these the same as the rallys that would have come on the car? Any differences from the original rally wheels vs these?

    I removed the stock wheels from mine..(no, they aren't for sale :) ) and put 15" all around. Tires are 235/60/15NR Red Line Radials.

    I had all the springs/shocks replaced as I assumed they were original and some Einstein had put spacers in the springs...it was "hanging" pretty bad.

    I wanted my car "up on it's toes" and a very slight high in the rear. That's 60's!! :)

    the offset is on the 14 inch rims is atleast 1 in farther outboard (3 1/2)
    i dont think 15 in rims came on the 65s but the offset is about the same as
    the stock 14s (4 1/2)
