[GALAXIE] Replacement Wheel Rim Options

[GALAXIERUS at aol.com]

The full size 73s got the larger 5 inch diameter bolt pattern.
 It was 4.5 through 72.

Not sure, but didn't Ford change the bolt pattern  somewhere around '72 or 
'73? My disc brake swap was from  a '71 or '72 LTD, and the pattern is the 
same, 4.5 on 5,  right?

Adam,
If you are not concerned about exact originality and want  to go a bit 
wider you can find 15x6 wheels from an '80's era Lincoln Town Car  or Ford Crown 
Victora. That's what I am running on my '65  LTD.

 Those rims are very plentiful. 68 standard rim. 5 inches across at  the 
 bead.
 Get the tire dismounted from the rim, and measure the distance between the 
 
 bead seatings.
  Most are 5 inches. I have many.
