BOLT PATTERN

What is the bolt pattern for a stock 65 Galaxie 2dr HT? My Father sent me some Uni-lug Cragar S/S wheels. I need to get the uni-lugs for them.

Also, what would be the widest wheel that would fit in the rear wheel wells?

Thanx, as always.

The bolt pattern should be 5 on 4 1/2

As far as the widest rim, I run a 15x8 Weld Drag Lite with a 4 1/2 back spacing. With a 235/70-15 and it fills up the a '67 with no rubbing.

Yes, my 66 has Weld 15 x 8s with a 4 1/2 " back space also but,I run a 28 X 10.50 MT Sportsman Pro tire and it fits no prob.

Cragar: 15 x 8, with P265 60. fit 65 Galaxie rear perfectly. Front will rub at full turn on some cars.

I should also add, on the front, you can not run 4 1/2 backspacing. It will get into the upper control arm/ball joint with a 15" wheel. On the front, I run a 15 x 7 with 3 1/2 backspacing and a 215/70-15. It will rub at full lock. If Weld had only made a 4" backspacing, it would be OK




The back springs were new when these pics were shot, they settled down about 1 1/2 and looked alot better. Since this car is for sale, these wheels are going to go on my red '67 XL.

I want to put 15x8's on the back and the 15x7's on the front. How do I detirmine the back spacing on these wheels?

Are you trying to decide what backspacing you need?

Yes

The wheels my Father sent are 4 15x7's. They all need to be replated. I want to replate 2 of them and get 2 new 15x8's for the back.

Lay a straight edge on the wheel mounting face (disc/drum face) and then measure from there to the inner wheel well. Subtract about 1 inch for clearance and that should get you in the ball park.

It definetly looks like they have a 4 1/2 back spacing. That size will rub? Is this correct?
