I thought all Corvettes had 15" tires and rims back then??

15" is correct.

My mistake, they are 15 inch that are needed, 15x6 and I believe they are the same as a wagon in 1963.

That should be 15x5"

65-66 had a 15.5 inch wheel... if he wants original '65-'66 wheels, dated, original Kelsey Hayes... I have them. '63-'64 wheels are very hard to find...

Thanks,
Dan
