Need help with lug pattern + wheels - 1964 NinetyEight

Hey guys. I upgraded all 4 brakes to disk in my 64' Ninety Eight.

The OEM small wheels do not fit any more.

Anyone know the exact lug pattern of the car?

Also recommend a place to buy some cheap/temporary wheels to roll the car around in?

Thanks

5x5 bolt circle. If 15" wheels will clear the disc setup, wheels from any 70s GM pickup or full-size car will give you a means to roll the car around. Also 1980s GM full-size wagons.

Curious how you did the fronts. Scarebird has had a bolt-on kit for the 57-64 rear for years but the front often required machine work on the spindles.

If you want good heavy duty wheels get a set of cop wheels from a 94-96 Chevy 9C1 police car. They are 15" by 7" and should clear disc brakes easily. I actually have a set of five that I used on my 63 Starfire if you are interested...

Thank you! I'll look more into them soon. The shop doing a motor swap on it did the work for me. I remember ordering the kit from a site few years ago. It was not easy and they had to swap several parts to make it work.
