The 15 has a much more pronounced slot and the slot is much bigger than the
14's. Compare 2 of them side by side and you will see what I mean.
Yes, Ray's bus is a 65. The 14 started in early 64. Sometime around late
October or early November if memory serves. The very early 64 model year, like
for the first month or two of production for the 64 model year, still had 15s
and did not have many if any of the basic model year changes for 64. Good
example: 64s are the first year for push button door handles, except the first
couple of months of production still had the pull handles just like the 63.

Sammie I thought Ray had a 65 bus where is the change in size
?? 14 s are different than 15 but still have the " slot " next to
the rim , 15 s its just bigger both have " bus " offset when you
compare
them to a cars wheel terry

It's easy to tell Terry. First thing I notice about a "stock" bus. If you
don't believe me ask Ray Decker who has 15s on a bus that is supposed to have
14s. If you run the correct tires for the bus the tires have the same overall
diameter regardless of the wheel 14 or 15. Go measure a 640X15 and then
measure
a 700/14 (correct tires for split busses), the are the same diameter. And the
wheels look totally different.

You can put 14 s on your bus , by using 66 -70 wheels . No one would know the
difference , except for usins bus freaks . But with hub caps on it might be
hard to tell . But these Hankooks are head & shoulders better than anything
else I have found . I have a set for my 67 westy . I ran them on a 68 PHAT
CHICK camper much better terry
