i am looking for a more modern style rim for my 65 black coupe. what is the correct bolt pattern for that car. it also seems that there are not many options for a 65. are there adaptors??? what bolt pattern can be adjusted so they can fit?? sorry for sounding like an idiot but i am kinda new to all this

is it a 4 or 5 bolt?

ky

5x4.5"

theres almost an infinite amount of options for wheels.

but if its a 4 lug then youre right, not many wheel options. 4 lug cobra r's are the only ones worth getting if you dont want to convert to 5 lug

He would still have to buy adapters and still there is a chance they won't fit.
4 lug classic - 4x4.5
4 lug fox - 4x4.25

I would just get some wheels that fit the car right to begin with.

I don't trust spacers any farther than I can throw them.

i have a 5 lug rim. i dont want torq thrust rims i dont want elanor style rims. i see them too much. i am looking for something a little diferent. i am just not sure how to begin to look for them. what bolt pattern and offset is acceptable??? any help would really be appreciated

5x4.5 bolt pattern
Can go up to 4.5" backspacing on the front and 5-6" on the rear. The rear you might have to cut a piece of metal on each side, but I doubt it.


Check out tire rack, summit racing, jegs, discount tire.

BA is correct the lug pattern is 5 on 4.5.

15x7 4.25 backspacing is what I have on mine with Mag 500 and that is the correct backspacing for this combination.

You can go with a 16 or 17 inch wheel and still have the car look right. Alot of the newer wheels will require a spacer to get the right backspacing.

Also, if your car does not have power steering then I would not go wider than 215 or 225 front depending on the wheel you go with.

Personally I would not go larger than 16.

Here are some wheel fitment charts.
