<VV> Change to 14" or 15" wheels on early Corvairs

[kenpepke at juno.com]

With proper sized 13" tires becoming rare, I'm considering the possibility  
of trying to purchase 14" or 15" wheels and go with a tire that will fit 
and  work when my current (new) tires need replacement (yes - I'm planning on 
keeping  my 62 Monza Coupe and on living a long time - I hope).  I have 
heard that  the 1963 Chevy II Nova SS came with 14" 4 bolt wheels with a 4 X 4 
1/2" bolt  pattern.  Where in the world would someone find these.  I haven't 
had  any luck checking the Internet.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

With practically no trouble at all, one can redrill hubs, drums, & axle flanges to accept the 
4 3/4 x 5 bolt pattern found on almost all of the smaller GM cars made between 1955 &
1988 and some later.  A drill press will do it or visit a local friendly machine shop.

Once done there are thousands of wheel styles available in 13, 14, and 15 inch diameters.
