Hi all, have you found one wheel in 15' or 16' that we put on the front off a 64 car?
3 parts wheel i think?

If you are asking will a 15" or 16" wheel fit over big red brakes the answer is no. You will need a 17" dia wheel and the only three piece wheel used by Porsche is an 18" speedline.

If you measure the distance from the hub center to the outermost point of the caliper I read 7" or 14" dia. So assuming you can find a 15" wheel with a flat inner profile that will only allow you 1/2" of clearance and no room for air flow. I'm not aware of any 15" wheel that has a flat inner profile although I have heard of some custom made 16" wheels that just fit but as I recall they had issues with overheating as well.

Sorry I can't help you on a make.
