spare wheel needed for 66 coupe
« on: June 09, 2006, 04:16:58 pm »
Hi, I just bought a 66 coupe recently and have noticed that it doesn't have a spare wheel.

Does anyone know the easiest way to find myself a spare? would it be a standard purchase from a tyre place ... or perhaps from another ford?

Just go to your local wreckers, they are the same as Falcon rims, you will need to know if you have, 4 stud or 5 stud. If you have 5 stud (V8), then be aware that there are two centre sizes. The large centre will fit also fit both hub sizes, and obviously the small centre will only fit the smaller hub.

go to a trailer place and buy yourself a new rim...
a new falcon rims 14 x 6jj will set you back about 45 dollars
brand new and in black...no work neded...
be aware that fitting radials to real old rims..is extremely dangerous..if you find a rim with a small centre it is not designed to take a radial..
