Re: [A/S] Wheels & trie question




The wheels we use now from Hayes are 15x6 rated at 2600# (not found at your typical 
tire store), watch that you match the rim to your vehicles maximum carrying 
capacity....5200 pound axle you'd need  2600# rated wheels etc. The other critical 
measurement is center offset, should be 0", not more than 1/2", exception being the 
early 61-62 with 13" wheels, have one in the shop now changing the axle and it had 2 
3/8" offset wheels, it will have 14" rims with a 0" offset when ther new axle is 
installed.
