Wheels
Does my 30 fordor have the wrong wheels? It has 21” and when I look at replacements they list 30-31 take 19s

Re: Wheels
It is "wrong" from an authenticity standpoint, but if they're working well you don't necessarily need to spend big money to replace them. The wheels are interchangeable.

Re: Wheels
By US standards you have the wrong wheels but you should add your general location and where the car was assembled because foreign countries may be different (just guessing). You might ask the previous owner to see if they have a story on the wheels. I am surprised a car that nice would have the wrong wheels. Be sure to go original 19 inch wheels and not reproductions.
The 21 inch wheels are usually harder to find because they didn't hold up as well as the 19's. Try an ad for wanted to swap. Again, add your location, there may be some wheels near you. Inspect that 2 blade original fan. They tend to develop cracks and fail, going through the hood. Most people have gone to reproduction aluminum fans but be sure to get a new one from a reputable vendor as the quality of the earlier ones sometimes left a lot to be desired. Welcome to the Barn.
