63 Savoy wheel centre size?

[Wallus57]

Hi folks. We just purchased a 63 Savoy with 14" wheels on it. It's 3 1/2 hours away and I have to pick up some wheels and tires for it before I go to get it rolling. From what I read on the forum here it looks like they are 5 x 4 1/2 pattern but I need to make sure I have the right centre size too. Anyone know for sure?
Thanks, Wally.

5 on 4 1/2 is correct. Mopar and aftermarket wheels will work. 1/2x20 lug thread size. The driver side MIGHT still be left hand thread! Look for an "L" on the end of the stud.
Older Ford wheels have too small a center hub hole. If you still need hub dimensions, I can get some for you tomorrow.

Actually I would appreciate it if you would get the dimensions for me. It's going to be a long trip and I'd like to get it right lol.

Mike did it for you already. If the wheels you want to use have the right bolt pattern, and an almost 2 7/8 center hole, they'll work.
As an aside, you do know how to check bolt pattern, right? For a five lug wheel, measure from the far edge of a lug hole, or stud, to the mide of a hole two away. That will be the bolt pattern.
