On the 2 modern Mopar brand wheels I mentioned above just a note: The large standard 1963 "Tempest" wheelcovers fit those rims perfectly and once the covers are in-place you can't tell (unless a close, knee to the ground inspection) that anything is different.
The tiny dog dish covers and the 1963 "deluxe" 12 hole covers will not fit.

What kind of tire, and how old? Did you hit something or did it just let go? Was this your brown '63? K

Mopar rims
Tom, I used mopar rims on the hot rod after the Scarebird disk conversion. They are 15x5 and coded jj. Number stamped on them is 3633171. By adding a 1/4" spacer they clear with 215/70-15 tires. I think the date code is m 39 3.

Never though when I did my 63 conversion. Had Moser make the axles with the same bolt pattern as a 9 inch Ford so I have 2 bolt patters and 1 spare. My 61 wagon has both the same. To be old and wise had too be young and stupid

Tom,
Did you ever come up with the 2019 or 2047? I bought 2106 for a 93 Town and Country...5 inch back space NO GO! We are looking into the 2019 and want to be sure that these will work Jim Gennarino, |

I'm petty sure that a 15" Ford Ranger wheel fits over my Skybird discs but haven't tried it ... let me know, since this is what my spare is?
