<VV> Stock Steel 14 Inch Wheels

[Vairtec Corporation]

Ken, Corvair van wheels fit a 1969 Corvair car just fine, but they are 
half an inch narrower than stock.  The cars use a 13x5.5 wheel, the vans 
use a 14x5 wheel.

Back in my days of driving Corvairs year-round I used van wheels for 
snow tires on all four corners, but otherwise I would not recommend 
their use.

There exist plenty of choices for late-model Corvairs.  There is 
excellent information on this at Bryan Blackwell's site:
