Hi all, I'm in the UK and last year bought my rocket 88 from NJ. I'm looking to replace the wheels on my coupe for something a little wider. I want them to look original but with a deeper dish, I basicly want to replicate exactly what is on this fine example. They are 15 x 7 with 235 15x7 tyres.

I first need to know what my car has now but I don't have a bolt circle guage or know the dish so does anyone have any specs/data on the stock wheels please?
I have looked at getting mine 'banded' by 1" like the owner of this car did but it's really expensive and I think it will be cheaper to buy new deep dish smoothies from the States and import them. Summit do a few but I need the specs before I can buy (it would be an expensive mistake to get it wrong) ny help would be much appreciated.
Heres mine, it's still stock for now but will be (as far as I know) the only early NASCAR tribute car over here.

'50 Olds 88 used 15" x 5½" wheels. Bolt pattern was 5 bolts in a 5" circle.

Wow, looks like that worked. In that case I'll put on the pic of the wheels I'm after.

Basically I want to recreate this car, should be simple but the wheels and stance are critical to getting the look right.
Is the 5 stud 5" wheel comon to all GM cars of that era or just Olds?
