<VV>Budget wheels

[Padgett]

>(read ULTRA)  racer, I'm glad to know we can run well on stock rims.
>However if anyone comes across something 5 x 4.75 x 13 in the boneyards

Problem is the 13" part. The replacement (Vega) went to a four bolt pattern 
and the FWD cars that followed had the wrong backspacing and a smaller 
diameter bolt circle. It might be possible to build an adapter that would 
compensate for both however by then wheel diameters even for small cars 
were increasing. I think the largest was only 6" wide.

4.75" is sometimes referred to as 120mm. Much easier even if you could go 
to 14" as many Firebirds and Grand Prixs of the 70's had 14x7 wheels with 
the right backspacing and bolt pattern. Just watch out for the later ones 
that used extended hubs and a FWD backspacing.
