Missing center wheel caps - what am I looking for?

[68confusedcharger]

Hi Guys.
I have an old set of what I think are american racing aluminium rims without the center caps. The rear tire size is 275 R60/16 and the front tires are 215 R65/16. I'm looking for some wheel caps and am overwhelmed with options. I'd be happy with plastic but not sure of the sizing. Any idea how to go about sizing them correctly?

Typo - front as per picture 215 65/R15, rear 275 60/R15

You put a 70 front Clip on it?
I would start by measuring the dia of the hole.

It's 2 7/8". The front clip is how I bought it, it has since been replaced, still awaiting paint.

Those look similar to a set of Weld wheels I used to have, not quite though. Summit Racing has lots of center caps. Here's one that measures 2.8", something to look in to.

Centerline 2 7/8 snap-in center caps. Google them. (I thought they were centerlines looking at the backside, but the front doesn't look right.)

I hope that you saved and sold the 1970 front end stuff. There are plenty of 1970 owners that could benefit from fenders and other stuff.
"Dunrobin"....Is that in Ontario? I had to look it up.
If so, wow...you are not just down the street from Summit Racing or other auto parts stores!

I have these, like brand new but they measure 3-3/16" O.D. I got them from Summit Racing but they are just a bit too small for my wheels. They are aluminum & were only $20 each.

American Racing usually have their name and logo cast into the backside of their wheels.

I am thinking Satin finished Centerlines too. I only ever saw one other set like that many years ago. Not very common.

I d9nt really think they are centerlines (nuts on the backside, not rivets) but I think the push-in cl caps will work.

Hi, and yes, I'm in Ontario and again you're right, Summit is not nearby!

I sold the hood and fenders but still have the grill which is slightly banged up but definitely fixable and the lower valence.

I'll check out the centerline caps - thanks for your feedback!
