Default New wheels and tires

I have pulled the trigger on the Rally One wheels. Due to response from everyone I chose the 15 inch. They are the 5X4.75 bolt circle with 4.25 in back space. Will these fit on the 66 GTO Vert with no issues?
Thanks.

Are these tires something that would have to be
ordered from Coker Tire or are they easily found anywhere. Thanks

As Tempest said... they'll look fantastic. And that goes for the tires too. Both should fit just fine.

Charley I believe only Coker has them..... as far as I've seen so far. They're reproductions made by Coker. BFG doesn't make them anymore.

Great. I had checked Summit a while ago and they didn't have them listed back then. Good to see I was wrong.

Here are 215/70R-15 redlines on repo Rallye 1s on my '66. Fit good, look good, and ride a lot better than the old bias tires. I think you will like yours.

Rims and tires have arrived and I must say they look better than I thought they would. I am going to paint the housings red and change all 4 shocks and the springs on the rear prior to installing the wheels. When I get everything finished I will post some pictures!

Coker manufactures the BF Goodrich Silvertown Redlines. Summit is one of their resellers. Summit also sells repro items that are manufactured from other companies like Original Parts Group (OPG) etc.

Summit prices are the same as Coker but has free shipping so it is a better deal. Watch what you are ordering though. For example the BFG Silvertown Redline 205/70r14 comes in single and double redlines. The double redline is $199 and the single redline is $223. I think Ford used the double redlines.

Jim, for 199.00 the double redlines would work just fine for me. I actually think they'd look sharp on a 64 to 67 GTO, LeMans, or Tempest.
