Does anyone have these wheels on their Fairlane? I was told they would not fit my 63 with the Granada discs on front and stock 2" drums on the rear. Any ideas?

I have 15x8 on my 66. What is the offset on the front and rear. You might have to run different offsets. A good engineer should be able to move the center to alter the offset to what you require if you can't buy them off the shelve.

Explain to me "offset" and how do I determine how much offset I need?

The offset is the distance between the mounting hub and the center of the rim. Two websites you could try are http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp or https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html , I also think the tirerack homepage has a link to finding the offset of the rim you require.

For what it's worth, I'm running 15X6.5 Cragar Star Wires on the back of my '64 with 205-70 tires and 15X6 Cragar Star Wires on 185-70s on the front with stock drums and have no clearance problems.

I don't know the exact offset but the bulk of my wheels' depths are to the rear of the rims. In other words, the rims look shallow on their faces but are actually quite deep when viewed from under the car.
