Are you sure it's a Falcon wheel and not a Mustang wheel?   I had a 
couple of 13" Falcon wheels (admittedly off a '62 Falcon) that 
wouldn't fit an early 'Vair because the pilot hole in the wheel was 
too small... the 'Vair hub hung in the hole.   Now, later Falcon 
wheels may well have bigger pilot holes, pretty sure the Mustangs 
probably did.

You're right about the Falcon wheels being kinda narrow...

And 6 cylinder Mustang wheels in '65 had 4 lugs and were 
14s.    :)  Trouble is, you'll have better luck with Japanese wheels 
than finding early Mustang 14/4s.


The 13s on my '60 are only a couple years old, and are respectable 
quality Firestones.   When they wear out, I'm gonna have to do 
something different, I think.
