I intend to change the wheels (old ones are rusting) and the tires (to originial 5.60 x 15-White wall). The car has now a set of disc brake at the front but the back is still on drum.
The stock wheels on sale are 15 x 4 1/2 and 15 x 5 1/2. Which should be more suitable for my car and why :?
Thanks

Thanks Scuffy. I stay with the 4 1/2 size and just ordered a set of Coker White Wall 5.60 x 15. Less hassle with the authorities here. :D
