Asking for wheel ID

15" wheel, 5x4.75" BP, and about 2.75" center hole.  Couple things to note...there are only 2 nubs for the hubcap, and the stem is almost on the outer edge.  The wheel is welded as well.  So It apparently is newer than mid 60's or so.  Anyone?

Measured 3.5" backspace, and 10.5" or so from outside of nubs.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

being its got a 4 3/4 bolt pattern, I'm gonna say its for a chevy, but no idea on the rest.  I know my ol f150 had more than two spots for a hubcap to clamp to.

Yep.  All of the wheels I've been looking at lately, Ford and Mopar all have 3 or 4 nubs.  Most Gm has atleast 3 nubs as well.  One picture that looks close is the GMC van, but I can't find a close up pic.
