The wheels are 15 x 7 Boss 302 steel rims, 0 offset. I recently acqired a set or Chrysler wheels that measure the same, but have an extra set of small holes around the center. The magnesium wheels are original R model's that came off the #14 A sedan in the other pictures. I ran Gillette 255/60R15's. That's why the front fenders are sightly flaired and the rear lips are pounded flat, to clear the big tires. They lasted one season on the front and 1/2 season on the rear. We autocrossed every weekend except Christmas and New Years.

We all ran cheap tires (softer rubber), and entry fees were next to nothing. When I was 16 it was a great experience autocrossing 50 times a year. I wish the parameters of expense/free time/family interest/etc. were all the same now. Just can't justify it when the current Hoosiers life expectancy are measured in the number of heat cycles they go through and it is another $800 a set of tires to race for a small thropy, if anything.
