I'm trying to Be Prepared just in case this one ends up going somewhere. So, I'm hoping somone can tell me the proper wheel size and tire size for a '63 Overlander? I'll post in the proper wheel/tire forum as well, but I thought I'd post here first in case anyone is reading this thread.

Similar models in nearby vintages seem to call for 15" , 6 lug, 5.5" bolt pattern, and zero offset. Is that correct? Since there are 4 wheels and the dry weight is probably somewhere around 4200 - 4500 lbs, what would be the appropriate weight rating for each individual wheel?

And then for tires-- without debating BRANDS , what is the appropriate tire size for the '63 Overlander, and again what weight rating would be appropriate since there are 4 tires?

On Edit: One other question-- what is the likely hitch ball size for the trailer tongue on a '63 Overlander?

Thanks in advance for any help that is thrown my way.
