    From 14x6 rims to 15x6 on a 1966 New Yorker

    I've taken what I've been able to find here, they are Wheel Vintiques. The 15" inch hubcap went 100% fine. But I found the powder coating of poor quality, as the center bore edges. Also, the center bore is slightly bigger than the original, which doesn't help when one wants to put the wheels...

    From 14x6 rims to 15x6 on a 1966 New Yorker

    I finally went with 15x6, 225/75R15. I haven't done a picture of the full car with the new tires and hubcaps, but that will come soon. In the meantime, I've made a couple pictures showing the three sizes (original, 14" radial, 15" radial) and the height difference. As mentioned by cbody67, the...

    From 14x6 rims to 15x6 on a 1966 New Yorker

    Hi, As the tires on my '66 New Yorker simply gave up after many years of service, and that the current size isn't available anymore (225/75R14), I'm switching to 15" rims with 225/75R15. That would be a bigger overall diameter compared to the 14", but closer to the original 855x14 the car had...
