Wheels
« on: March 18, 2016, 04:59:35 PM »
I just discovered that the spare tire in my Eagle is a 6.95X14 4 bolt wheel that does fit on the car. Any ideas what it might of been from ? I know early Novas had a 4 bolt pattern

Ford Falcons, Mustangs, Comets, of the 60s with 6cyl engines had 4bolt 14 inch rims.  Some small Ramblers and Studebakers  also had 4 hole 14s.  Sorry I not at home so don't know the bolt circle or width.  Tom.

Those Ford 4-bolt patterns were the same for 14" and 13" wheels. So if you wanted smaller rims on your Aero, there's your choices.
