The detail about your car can be found on the trim tag, that's the large metal plate attached to the firewall. The trim, paint, and other numbers associated with the items detail everything about the car.

About tires and wheels, KF used the same rims as concurrent Chrysler products. Wheels on KF cars used a guide pin, so you'll see extra holes in the rim for the pin. Unless you remove the pin, you will not be able to mount modern wheels on the car (unless you drill a hole in the rim to accomodate the pin).

Be careful though, do not use Ford rims on your car. The center hole is larger on a Ford and that puts too much stress on the wheel studs.
