I know that Grant wheels fit on AMCs; I've done some, and I know
many other listers have.  I did a 62 Ambassador, 63 Classic,
75 Gremlin.

I totally forget what kit I bought. The 62 was too long ago
to recall; the 63, I had to modify some thing or other on
the hub (horn ring contact, or was it turn signakl canceller,
and somethin that didn't clear something in the column). 75,
bolted on (GM column).

The diameter of the trim cover provided by Grant is smaller than
the Rambler column, leaving about 1/8" gap. For my 63 Classic,
I made a thin aluminum disk the diameter of the Rambler column,
that attached to the adapter with a few small screws, and
painted it.

The splined hub center fit fine in all cases.

On all except the 62 Ambo, I eventually put stock wheels back on!
The smaller diameter wheels put the wheel rim right across
the speedo gauge. Check this before you buy...
