7" wide is pretty wide to clear on a Type 3.

What about 6" wheels?

Just so you know there are 8 different types of phone dials so asking if some 15x7" fit is a pretty vague question. You at least need to know the offset or the ET is marked on the wheel

Thank you for that list.
I just added it to the FAQ at the top of the page.

Good question Russ neither have I. I last saw him at Brad Memorial. I know he was taking care of him Mom.

Check here. There's lots of examples of 7 and 8" wide wheels being used.

I would guess either 15x7 et 52 or most likely 15x6 et 36.
i have both, they look the same on the outside just 7's are deeper on the inside.

everything clears just fine
