The 60-61 rims are the same (see print from parts manual below), but different than the 62-on Corvairs. The 60 hub caps are shaped slightly different than the 61 hub caps, which are slightly smaller than the 62 and on. So, you will run into exactly what you are by trying to put 61 caps on the other rims. We know this because we have two 61 wagons and a 62 and the 62 had 61 rims and we tried to put on a set of 62 hub caps. Had to buy a set of 62 rims so they would work.
The nubs mentioned in the other email are to mount the full wheel covers. A 61 wheel will have the three nubs. If it doesn't they are not 61 wheels.
Be advised that Falcon wheels have the same bolt pattern as a Vair and possibly other makes will too. Don't know and details about the Falcon wheels, though.
If you need more information. just contact us.

When i purchased My 61 Lakewood which had been in storage for over 25 years, didn't have the original wheels on it and when I was trying to install the dog dish hubcaps they showed some resistance so I stopped working on it for the day. Just wondered if the 61 wheels were different on that respect?
