[FC] Van Wheels

[Ken Hand]

With that info be very careful about using just any 14" rim. The standard 14" GM rim will hit the tie rod end and rub pretty hard possibly ruining the rim and/or the tie rod end. Test fit any 14" rim before purchasing.

Starting point.

All Corvair cars came with 13" wheels as stock, FCs are 14". Width - The
distance between the inner lips of the rim, where the tire beads seat. All
Corvair cars came with 5 1/2" wide wheels, FC wheels are 5" wide.

original size had a diameter of about 26.3 inches.

1.) Diameter - Vertical dimension of the wheel, measured where the tire's
bead seats. All Corvair cars came with 13" wheels as stock. 2.) Width - The
distance between the inner lips of the rim, where the tire beads seat. Both
early and late Corvairs used 5 1/2" wide wheels, but I have heard that 60's
wheels .
