58' panel with phone dials?

I am trying to find out which offset would be correct for a set of phone dials on a 60' panel. I was thinking of 15x6 on all 4 corners unless someone has some better ideas. We will be running disc brakes on the front and redrilled drums on the rear IRS conversion.

You can go 7's if you really push it in the rear. Actually easier if you do 16"s to shoehorn the tire in the rear wheel arch. The front needs a few dinky things done to fit as well for 15x7s (again not a problem if you run 16s).

FWIW I am running Phones 15x7 all around on my '66 Wesyi with IRS and early 944 discs. I like it a lot!

Which irs kit did you go with on the 66'? Good- bad? I'll see what I can find for wheels now that I have an idea of what I need.
Thanks guys

I used the Bus Boys kit mostly (some Old Speed parts as well). The Bus Boys kit seems expensive at first but is the only real bolt on solution that I know of.
