I’ll measure them tm. I did get a picture of the numbers on the inside of the rim when I had new tires installed, but I found nothing searching.
center caps or not (looking for opinions)

Cop wheels take 9" caps, and as noted above your preferred caps are 10".

I’ll take what fits. Those were some I found that looked nice on another 65’. It don’t have to be those specific caps.

also the caps that came on the car on the front don’t fit on the back, so I assumed 10” were on the back. I ordered a set and they don’t fit

The dog dish with thin trim rings, letters in unless they say Goodyear or Firestone. No Cap, chrome lug nuts and trim rings looks good too. I went with the dog dish and trim rings

I didn't notice the back wheels were not cop wheels. You will have to swap two of your wheels so the hub cap diameter is the same on all four, if you want the caps to match.

It sucks to get a vehicle and when you look to replace a part it’s not what came on the vehicle. Like not even remotely close. Frustrating.

15x8s that take a10" cap were probably custom made. As said above, cop rims take the small 9" caps. See if you can find some ramcharger 15x8 steelies, they take the nine inch caps too.
I've got a 62 with 15x6 on the front and 15x8 ramchargers on the rear, with 67 barracuda caps, (cause that's what I could find in the garage. Got some dodge red ring caps too, but I couldn't find them.....)

I forgot to mention, I've got an A12, so I'm stuck with the naked black wheel look. I didn't care, I ran dodge red stripes on my Plymouth anyway. I do NOT care for the naked steelie look.

The 15x6 are A12 rims, 4" backspace I think, with 235 70x15s. The rears are 15x8 ramchargers with 4" bs also, not enough offset for my car to run 275s, so there got 255/70x15s on em. I've got some 10x28x16 slicks that fit great with 4 3/4" bs. (very dusty Arizona garage).

235 is bigger than I thought would fit a 62 front.
I have a set of 15x6 I want to put on the front of my 62, not sure of the bs.
Currently I have 15x6 all around with 215/70, not sure on bs.
The stock 62 8 3/4 fit both of these with no issues, the Coopers will go on the rear with one of the wheels:
M/T L60-15 15x8 4.25 backspace
Cooper 275/60/15 15x8 4.5 backspace
215 vs 235

The fronts on the tt's are actually 235/75x15s! (On 15x7, 29+ tall) The ONLY way they fit is cause some previous owner relieved the heck out of the splash panel at the front of the wheelwell. They DO rub at close to full lock on the header tube thru the inner fender panel.
Rumor has it that my car has a 65 axle in it. No big axle nut. It was there when I bought the car from GTX John, 40 years ago, lol
You have a much better chance of the 275s fitting on 4 1/2 bs.
