1965 Coronet Wheels 15X10

[65AFX]

Just got my rear original looking wheels. Got them from Wheel-Smith. Only took 5 days after ordering and they were on my doorstep. Great service. Got 7" backspacing to fit with my mini tubs and inboard springs.

Nicely done! I have some centerlines with the same dimensions, for the same purpose.

How much were they if you don’t mind?

 

[65AFX]

$295 each. They can make them in almost any width and backspacing. They made made mine really quick.

That seems like a bunch, at first look, but for a custom made wheel, that's not bad!
I bought a couple custom 15x12 tt2s a few years ago, they have since doubled in price to over $700 ea. The new, off the shelf daisies are more than $600 each.

Wheel looks great, I have not seen any of the completed wheels with my centers in the 15 x 10 size. Cool

Before mounting the tires place them on the axle and give them a spin and check for trueness.

Don't wanna assume... They supplied the wheel centers?? You did'nt have to get the centers and send to them??

They look great, thx Lefty71

 

[65AFX]

They supplied everything.

 

[duster22]

Yes, I sell to the Wheelsmith and I sell to individuals too just in case someone has the materials, equipment and skills to do them for themselves.

What tire size are you going with? I also have mini-tubs with 15x10 wheels but they don’t fill out the wheel-well enough for me…still about 2.5” gap. I have 275/60R-15 regular old BFGs…I’d like a taller and wider tire.

I had a very similar look on my car, with the 15x10 one piece torque thrusts. I ordered a pair of custom 15x12 minimum backspace 2piece tt2's, run 315/60x15.

I haven't mounted my tires yet on the 15X10 with 7" backspacing. I have a used set of Pro-Trac 50 Bias Ply tires. N-50-15, 28" diameter, 11.3 thre4ad width, Cross section 12-3/4.
Using my tire jig simulator there will be a good inch on each side.

Mount one tire, don't bother balancing it, try it for fit on both sides. If it clears good on both sides, mount the other, and balance.

Wheelsmith seems to have a good system for ordering a set...they have a form that accounts for all dimensions. I almost want to build some sort of wooden test jig. I really like the Firestone Dragsters with the Mopar 2 piece steelies.
