Bruce and VVers,
Good idea! Just make sure the 14 in replacement wheels you get have the
same PROPORTIONAL backspace as the original stock Corvair tires so they
"load-up" the wheel bearings about the same as the original tires and have the
car handle the same way as it did originally.

I think the best solution for those who wish to look original but who
would like to run 14" wheels is to get some 14 x 6 steel wheels and
run either 205/70-14's, which are the correct diameter to replace
7.00-13's or 195/70-14's, which are a bit taller than 6.50-13's. Then,
get some 14" wire wheel covers with spinners that look like the
Corvair 13's. Most people will never know that you don't have 13's.
Now, in a few years when those 14" sizes become scarce, we'll have to
figure out something else.
