wheel and tire sizes for a 62

Hi all you Falcon fans,

Can you help me figure out the wheel and tire combo on this car? I think they are Torq Thrust II 15".

Check the old posts we went over this for a while. i think that the final decision is that they were 16x7's at least that is what i am thinking. i was looking at the same combo for a while until i found out that the deepest backspace was 4" without a custom job. oh well i will find something else

Ahh.. the cream sweet falcon surfaces again. I wish somebody would contact this guy. We sure have posted his photo alot.



63 Sprint is right in our guesses.. we believe it to be a custom offset of 4.5 in (correct me if I am wrong)

I really love this car and the look of the Torque Thrusts. If anyone, repeat anyone.. knows what this guy invite him here or on http://www.falconforums.com so we can get the dl

Thanks all. What was the old discusion thread? I'm sorry to rehash old topics.

Also, can anyone read the state the license plate is from?

Red falcon,

it sure would be nice to know if those wheels are custom. like i said i tried to get some 16's in a 4.5" b.s. they said at least 60 per wheel more for a custom job. that is on top of 190 a wheel. i am thinking colorado customs now since i live here and all. i NEED to get some 16's under my fenders, they look so sweet!

I know one of the headings was a "has anyone done a mini tub." i can not remember the other. i think that red falcon started it though. i dunno i will keep looking.

Probably California Blackplates.

Or better yet.. does anyone know the woman in the blue dress.. maybe then we can ask her.

We maybe going about this all the wrong way.. =)

I know we went over this wheel thing on the same car before. Not sure of the outcome. I would guess that those are probably 15X6 wheels with 3.5 backspacing.Just a guess though.That front licence plate looks like a repop of a '63 Cal plate to me.

Wasn't there a song called "Devil In a Blue Dress".That can't be the same woman from the song.

I found the original thread. I didn't see where anyone came up with wheel sizes. One owner tried 16x7 but ran into a backspacing problem. I have other photos of 15x6 wheels on 60-63 Falcons and they just don't look as good as this one.
