You might also post your question on HAMB where you might find more knowledgeable audience for your question.

Coker has tires in multiple sizes and side walls
I run 15" bias plys white walls 5.90x15 front and 8.20x15 rear. they fit the wells on by 29 nicely. I also use '49 Mercury centers because i prefer the plain hub caps

yes it is not completely original, but combined with hydraulic brakes, the car stops much better.

Pretty soon it will be running with a new Burtz block, and better stopping power may be even more important than 21" tires can provide.

I thank you all for your input. but i think i needed to correct myself. I would like to put the spare on/in the front fender well. have a four door and looking to run a trunk on the back.

Now that you've clarified what you want to do, I don't think you're going to find anything to fit your needs.
Even stock 19" wheels with Firestone's usually have to be put in the wells UN-inflated.
