On my fc wagon l am running hr fronted with torana disc brakes  , rear end is hr
looking at mag wheels either dragway or jellybean .(as l like the old school look )
 
my question is what options do l have in wheel size,  can l look for wheels in the 14in range
there seems to be more wheels available in 14in, do l have to change anything

    thanks fcwagoon

Very tough, old school look plus Torans brakes not very compatible. The old school mags are deep dish whilst Torana brakes push the track out.
In the 60s and early 70s the front brakes were stock allowing deep dish wheels, plus suspension was not lowered like today. Have a look at pictures of Alan Hale's FC.
You can use 14 inch wheels but they are more likely to foul on the guards.
On the rear you would be better using a Torana rear end to narrow the track.
Flared guards in the late 70s were the obvious solution, but they are also taboo now.
