<VV> 14 inch wheels for your late model Corvair

[Michael Kovacs]

Also discovered that the 14 inch wheels on my '69 Nova were a fine fit. Use to 
just put the snow tires from the Nova on the Corvair to wear the Tires out as 
they got old.

When I purchased the John Fitch Sprint back in 1979 it had 
14" steelies on it. When I asked what happened to the 13" 
Hands wheels that were on the car originally I was told 
that John had put the Hands wheels on his Phoenix (he 
still has the Phoenix and those wheels!) because back in 
1969 he couldn't find another set of original Hands wheels 
and nobody was making any re-pops back then. Soooo, John 
checked and found that the 14" wheel from a 1968 Camaro
had the correct back spacing so as not to put any 
excessive force on the Corvair wheel bearings. That is 
what he fitted on the Sprint before selling it to Kurt 
Hein.

If you want to run 14" tires on your late model just get a 
set of wheels from a 67-69 Camaro and you should be good 
to go! - Caveman Pete
