All I can tell you is that what it says in the parts book.  There is one part number for the 1967 â€" 1970 and another one for the 1971 â€" 1974 This is from the 1974 Master parts book.

They will all work as far as I know. 67-78.
Sometimes very minor differences can be the reason for a new part number.
Do you need some?

Will sabre wheels from a 1955-56 Eldorado fit on a 1958 Eldorado Brougham?

The Toronado people talk about some of the 66-68 being different and causing clearance issues with disc brakes.  Not sure if the Eldos always got the 'disc' rims or not.   If you search some of the Toro forums you can likely find details, I seem to recall I found a site that had pictures.     At times I have had as many as a dozen wheels around at one time and there were slight differences in them but I never saw one that was different enough that it looked like it would cause clearance issues.  Likely the difference I saw was due to maybe a different factory or factory equipment over the years.     79-85's were for sure different, among other things they used the smaller bolt circle.
