Thanks, now there is 14" wheels and 195/75 r14 tyres. The car is classified into Finnish museum car register which have restrictions of being original but also free of taxes. I cannot modify those brakes for example.
The most unclear is about Offset for 14" and also the width of wheel (6 or 7")

Wheels + Tyres for 64 Comet Caliente
Hi,
It's time to refresh my 64' Comet Caliente Convertible and I am now looking for right size wheels + tyres. Any suggestion?
I guess 14x7 or 14x6 is right size?

Re: Leaf springs! To dampen or not to dampen that is the question?
Hi,
I did replace my old 4 leafs springs to 5 leafs springs with rubber around it. It is better to drive if there is one or two person sitting in rear seats but very hard if drive alone.

Re: Headlight and Horn Relays
Hi, There will be big risk for burning if you use excisting wires with H4 bulbs. Those need more current (AMP) and it means heat as well so those wires need to upgrade to thicker ones. I did upgrade the head light system last summer for my Comet 64 and those are much brighter now. You just need 2.5m...

Re: Comet 64 Leaf Springs and U-bolts
It was about 10mm past the nut and my old leafs was about 7mm so with new ones only 3mm past the bolt. Not so much.

I did downgrade my Comet's windscreen washer tank back to 60s and FoMoCo bag style. There was still electronic washer pump which was not in original car in 64 model
