I have my car on Stock 17" crown Vic wheels. I have to run a 1" wheel spacer to clear the caliper and tie-rod end.

Provided it's not fitted with the '65-'66 disc brakes and still has the factory drum setup, you'll have more to select from. If you have an aftermarket disc brake conversion, you're going to have to do some homework on your end to determine offset, clearances, backspacing, etc.

'Search' can be your friend. Type these words into the box at the upper right corner of the page:

Wheels 1964

You'll have a lot of non-topic posts to look through that go all the way back to 2006 or so, but that's part of the education (and fun) about this.
