Thanks for the good tips. I spent MANY hours Friday and Saturday searching the internet and came back to a wheel that I'd overlooked a few times prior. I like the Cragar Pro 17" rim with a faugh spinner. Good compromise between "old" and "new" I thought. They offer an 8" and a 9" with backspacing and offset that I believe will work, with my 6X5.5 lugs no less ! As Bill stated, I was not finding a lot of "modern" rims, 6X5.5 or 5X5 with the correct backspace/offset. I do plan on purchasing one wheel and one tire to do a dry fit of both prior to committing to all 4 and prior to mounting.
Thanks for the help, Ralph
