I got them on my 58. They are good pieces IMO, but they use the same spindle on the 58-64 and the 58 has a narrower track than the later ones. So that put my wheel out farther than stock which makes it rub now during turning.

I put mine on airride with stock spindles and it sits low.

I did slotted and drilled disc brakes on all four corners from CPP and they worked nice. I didnt want to run bigger then a 16 inch wheel.

thanks nbecker.
the wheels are 16 x8.5 in the rears and 16x7 in the front I think. I don't remember the backspacing off hand as I built the car about 6 years ago.
