When I swapped the wheels on Rosie I got a closer look at the wheels on her than I had previously. 

They aren't roached, but they are heavily rusted enough to guarantee I'm gonna sandblast them and inspect thickness of the steel.

If they are shot, what are the terms to look for when I go searching for new stuff?  Google is failing me.

Wheel Vintiques series 62. Summit sells them. I have run them on several vehicles. They come in all the normal bolt patterns and widths

Hrm.  Summit has Dormans for Fords at $90 or US Wheel at $200+

Think the Fords will fit the GM dog dishes?

Here you go. They are series 82 when they're 8 lug. 

Cheaper than US Wheel Chinese stuff and made in USA by Americans.

And for a 295 I would probably want, at a minimum, the 8".  I need to measure what I have currently. 

Any good calculators that say what the width of the wheel does to the height of the tire?

Nothing, only if it looks pinched, stretched or square when viewed from the non round side.

You can use Will they fit but it's still just a generality.
