Wire Wheels for my 69 Ghia Coupe

[Obi-Sean Kenobi]

Hi all,

I am going for the wire wheel look on my 69 Ghia coupe.

I’ve found an adapter that will allow for centerline rims to fit on the 4 lugs.

I’m looking at a NOS set of Jaguar XKE E-Type wire wheels. They are 15” x 5”.

I currently have new Calli tires on the Ghia - 165/80R15.

Will these wheels fit with the 4 lug adapter?

Will this set up work?

Experts please help!

Best,
Sean
