Default steel wheels

I've searched but can't find it. Are the c2 knock offs the same width and offset as the steel wheels and wheel covers?
Thanks in advance.

63 & 64 steelies are 5 1/2” wide where KOs are 6”. I don’t know for sure about 65-67 steelies, but guess they are the same width, but very different wheels.

All 63-66 steel wheels were 5 1/2" wide, 64-66 knock offs, 67 bolt on's and 67 rally's are all 6". The offset's the same for steel wheels and knock off's, but I'm having a senior moment right now and can't recall the offset for sure but I think it's 3 3/4".

Read post #3.
ALL
63-66 steel wheels are 5 1/2" wide.
ALL knockoff, bolt-on knockoff, and 67 rally wheels are 6" wide.

Default Steel wheels

63/64 steel wheels became a service wheel for the C1 5 1/2 racing wheel. You have to slightly enlarger the center to fit over the C1 hub. I had to do this.

From my research I believe the steel wheel with the part # ending in 814 became the service wheel for the C1 cars and 63-64 cars. This wheel has a center hub hole approx. 2 29/32". It can be identified by a small hole in one of the raised areas around the lug nut holes.
