New Purchase - 1968 Chrysler Town and Country

I think a set of these 70s Chrysler 15 inch wheels would look GREAT on the wagon!

 

Thanks Mike. However, the budget will allow for wheel covers. Wheels are not even an option.

 

This is the optional wheel I was referring to yesterday. According to what I can tell they were on option on the 1970- 72 or so Chrysler 300s, Hurst and New Yorkers. I think they would look great on your Town and Country. The picture is of a 15" rim tire combo and doesn't have the trim ring.

 

These came on a 1964 Imperial. I am seriously considering these. They look like they belong on a deep-dish rim. What do you think Jim?

 

These came on '69 Dodge Monacos. Always liked them. Maybe you could change them somehow to say 'Chrysler'.....

 

Those look pretty good too KK. I'm hoping the Imperial hubcaps will work. I like the white centers. Should match the car pretty well.

 

Those 64 Imperial wheel covers look like they will look good on your wagon. They are a deep dish wheel cover. I know some of Chryslers 14" deep dish wheel covers won't fit all Chrysler's 14" rims, as some 14" rims weren't deep enough to accommodate them. I would guess that all 15" rims would be deep enough though. I've got a buddy who has a 64 Imperial. He could probably tell me what the width is of the Imperial's rims.

 

Thanks Jim, I think they would look good. I have sent the guy a message to make sure they are 15" hubcaps. Do you think you could ask your buddy about the rim width? I would greatly appreciate it.

 

I called my buddy and asked him about the wheels on his 64 Imperial. He told me right off that they are 15" rims, but had no idea what the rim's width is.

 

My buddy with the Imperial just called me back. The rims on 62-65 Imperials are 8.2" x 15", and from 66-70, Imperial rims are 9.15" x 15".
I guess he got curious and looked it up.
Someone over on the For C Bodies Only Forum could probably tell you if the wheel covers would fit if your rims are less than 8.2" wide.

 

I asked the question over in the other forum. No reply yet. Here is a photo of my rim. Way too much snow right now to crawl around under the car. I really like those Imperial caps. However, I'm thinking that I may end up going with the '72'73 Plymouth caps. I could probably paint the center of the them white. Who know?

 

Is your spare 15" too?

 

Here's a little better photo of a hubcap on the car. I wonder what the rim itself looks like.

 

I don't have a spare.

 

In an emergency, I'm sure you'll figure something out.
