Default 1965 6 cyl. (4-lugs) wheel/tire help

Looking to go with new wheels and tires. Of course, I know now finding 4 lug wheels for this is not easily done. Any recommendations? Found a adapter from 4 lug to 5 lug, but then need a high positive off center. Not sure what to do. Anyone know of a wheel 5 lug with high off center? (+40/+50) 1965 6 cylinder. Thanks

It's just a thought but what I plan on doing is going with some universal 4 lug rims and then when I do the Granada/disc and rear end/disc swap I can sell the rims and make most of my money back for some 5 luggers. I won't even go overboard as for me it's only one year.

you can get "cragar quick trick I" 14" wheels 4 lug which look fantastic (check my picture).
I'm not sure if I have original cragars, but thats what it looks like.
you can get them and others at www.jegs.com
the wheel in the back is 205/75 14 and the front is 195/70 14 if i remember right
