Regarding using 15-in. rims on a FC; where do you get those rims and will  
they fit a LM coupe?

The FC uses a standard Chevy bolt pattern, but with a strange offset  because 
of the FC steering linkage.  They used notoriously narrow  14" wheels as 
stock - Only 5" wide. Narrower than the Car wheels. Many  people put 15" wheels on 
the late Corvair coupe. Almost any 15" Chevy wheel can  be used on the late 
coupe. If you go wider than 7", especially on the front, you  will have 
clearance problems. The most common, cheap, good-looking wheel - which  I recommend - 
is the 1982-1992 Camaro optional Aluminum 15 x 7 wheel. It is  hub-centric on 
the Corvair, clears front and rear (depending on tires chosen)  and is easily 
available in the Flea-Market/Mini-ad market. I also recommend a  205-55-15 
tire. They fit the wheels, are close to the original tire in height,  and are 
available from many sources. If you want more info, just ask. -  Seth
