Exploring the idea of putting cragar, or centerline or american racing rims on my 69 Tudor.

Does anyone know the bolt pattern, backspacing etc?

I have noted that many late 60's Ford cars have been retrofitted with Mustang Bullitt rims, so those are easier to find the specs on.

FYI.

That app will most likely work with my iPhone if it does with your iTouch!

Also be careful of interference with the front disk brakes, I had a set on that rubbed on the bleed screw of the disks if I remember correctly

Bolt pattern should be 4.5" x 5; as for backspacing I'd love to know as well as I'm putting together a listing of stock wheel dimensions for an article in the Scoop, including inside diameter of hub opening, width of rim, inside diameter of rim on the brake side, and any other pertinent dimensions for the rims.

I'm also needing key dimensions for all years '55-'90s for the front and rear wheel wells in order to provide information on clearances in order to determine space available for tires. Any assistance would be helpful.
