Rebuilding the suspension in my '65 El Camino. Contemplating replacing the steering box with a fast ratio one from a newer Jeep. Never occurred to me the effect of the stock diameter wheel. For those who have replaced the steering box. Have you changed the steering wheel?

I have what's likely a silly question... can I use my Beaumont poverty caps on a set of Chevy rally wheels? Also same question if they would fit the early gto rally? Anyone find a reasonable steel wheel alternative for 5x4.75 in a larger diameter? 17 or 18? Thanks, ak
