[FC] Tire/wheel size (again...)

[Clark Hartzel]

All Corvair trucks, Greenbriers, Corvans and '65-69 cars use the 5 on a
4.75" bolt circle wheels which are the same as most GM cars of the era.
Later on the big cars went to 5 on a 5.00" bolt circle.  S-10 pickup wheels
will work on a Corvair.  Ford and Chrysler were 5 on a 4.50" bolt circle so
they won't work.

OK, I've read the past postings, and I have determined that for my rampside,
I need 205/75 tires on 14" rims, with a 5 on 5.5" stud pattern. The local
auto
wrecker/vintage car guy was certain that it took a 5 on 4.75" stud pattern.
Any final words?

Bill
