iirc stockton wheel has 15" rims that can be put on 14" centers...

there are 15" amc steelies, though i haven't confirmed they take the
same little dog dishes.  some time around '70 +/- a few years, there
was a 15x6" on rebel/ambo wagons.

also unconfirmed is whether pre-'65 mopar steelies share amc-size
hubcaps, though they might not clear disk brakes anyway.  i know the
'66-up mopars have a much smaller cap.

in my book, wheel covers cover the entire wheel; hubcaps cover the
hub.
