    :Do No: Anyone make wheel spacer's? The incorrect road wheels are rubbing on the tie rod ends !:af: :TU:

    I had the same problem with my '69 Electra. But I figured if I used spacers I would need longer wheel studs.

    I Did think about that. I can slide a credit card in between the tire and the tie rod end. Your's that close ? Tire still ok ? Thanx !:TU: :TU:

    They were really close in the front, but on the rear they wouldn't clear the drums. :Do No: so I took them off until I get the correct wheels.

Anyone have the "correct 68 -15'' wheel out here ? 5 "NICE " WHEELS WOULDN'T BE ASKING TOO MUCH ,would it !!:Brow: :TU:
