Greetings and thank in advance for your input!
Starting on a 1960 Utility Wagon - am interested if there are Willys rims that are a bit wider than stock? Or a comparable rim from some other brand? Not trying to go wild, just want a bit fatter look in Jeep's stance while keeping it inside the wheel well.
Thanks for your help!

Wayback Willys,

You can use any Ford or Dodge 5 X 5.5 bolt pattern rim, as long as the wheel has the large center to fit over the center 4X4 hub. The original Kelsey Hayes steel rims were 4.5" wide. The later CJ5/6/7 had 8" wide wheels. The most popular aftermarket aluminum wheels were the slotted Ansen wheels.
