Leon ,

If you can put in an '70-'73 E/ES rear end on a wagon, you can use the 240 Turbo (Virgo) wheels, the bolt pattern is the same.

If you do put in an E/ES rear end, you can then bolt up the front assemblies from an E/ES, directly onto the 122 crossmember, and, Voila, that accomodates the 240 Virgo wheels, and all other '70-'73, "later pattern" wheels, on the front.

I am planning this for my '67 122, using everything from a 36,000 miles '70 E, and will also upgrade to the '70 E Master Cylinder and Booster, with the dual circuit, independent rear brake system.

If you don't change rear ends, I don't know if the Virgo wheels will clear the caliper set up, even if you were able to have the rear drum/hubs redrilled to the later pattern.

If you find that the rears drums/hubs can be redrilled to the later bolt pattern, AND will clear the 122 calipers, and fit in every other way, then you can redrill the front rotors, too, or, again, bolt E/ES assemblies onto the 122 crossmember and you have a match all around, for the later bolt pattern wheels.
