American Racing Wheels

Hello, I have American Racing 226 Wheels on my car. I am trying to find 2, 15x8 inch wheels for my car. I think these wheels have been discontinued, can anybody help me with this. Thanks. 1964 Oldsmobile F85 004.jpg

start doing searches under directionals or saw blades. That was the slang term for them.

I'm pretty sure they will rub. I have a set of 10s in the back of mine with 8s in the front. I wonder if you could fit the 10s in the back of your car and put your 8s in the front?

Then again.....your tires won't fit the wider rims. They'll be buckled outward.
