Hey guys I've been tossin this around for a few days. I think I wanna put supremes on my 62 Belair wagon. I hate the wheels that are on it. I did some searching on here and can't find what I'm looking for. I have to run 15inch wheels since there is disc brakes on all 4 corners. What I'm interested in is back space and tire size and brand of wheel? I really want that west coast low rider look so.... Thanks in advance Chris Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
15" Supremes on my '62 Merc Wagon project. This pic is a month or two old. The gl*** and door handles are in it now. The Supremes are Allied Wheel Components, 15x7 3.5" Backspace. Stock Mercury Front and Rear Axles. 4 wheel disc brake conversion and bagged.
Yep, your right, those wheels and tires need to go. I put 235/75R15 Hankook Radials on the Merc. They are a tall tire at 29" OD, but it fits the size of the car well. Plus they are a very affordable tire and come with the requisite pinner white wall.
I had 14 X 6 supremes on my 1949 Chevrolet sedan with disc brakes. 11" rotors I think... whatever came on 70's Camaro's.
15's w the standard 3 to 3.5" backspace should fit and clear the discs fine. US wheel I think is who makes the good ones, there's a thread on the Los Boulevardos forumn everything you'll ever need to know about "Supremes". Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
yea swap in some supremes and that wagon would look sick! i like wagons and i like supremes. together is a great combo
I've been considering the same thing for my wagon but the tires I have are brand new so I just can't justify to myself making the change. I kind of like my steelies but think the pinner whites would be awesome. I'll be interested to see what you come up with. Beautiful car by the way.
