Rocky, great info there, very useful to someone attempting a correct restoration. So now, the question is, is Mr. 455HO going for a truly correct restoration, or simply a correct "look." If the latter, then I would suggest 15x8 wheels on all four corners, and the ones from Wheel Vintiques that I've seen look pretty good. Get them in a 4.5" backspacing and you will have all the clearance you need for running tires as big as 275/60-15. I have 15x10 with 5" backspacing on all four corners of my Formula, and amazingly they fit(barely) with 50-series rubber, so 15x8s will fit just fine.
