Could you be more specific? What is this supposed to fit? What Pattern size is Large Bolt Pattern? on 5 1/2" ? This was a bolt pattern on Chrysler products in the fifties, but they were 14." Jeeps and Ford pick-ups were 5 on 5 1/2 " bolt pattern in the 60's and 70's.

sorry, although i've had a couple challengers over the years, i usually hang out at forAbodiesonly, where Large Bolt Pattern is usually 5 on 4 1/2" and Small Bolt Pattern is 5 on 4". i need 5 on 4 1/2". they're going on my 74' dart. 6" wide would probably be fine too if that's all that's out in the world. i thought ma mopar had used 15 x 5 1/2" wide on some cars but maybe they were 6" wide. as happens in this hobby, i've gotten rid of stuff over the years that was deemed too low performance when i was younger, and too stupid to realize i might want it later.

thanks

OK If you are looking for just something in a 15" that is going to be economical. that is going to be harder than you might think. 14" are much more common in that pattern. 15" were generally a performance option. So they sell for much more. The 15" became standard when disc brakes became OEM in the mid 70's. Like you said, the A-bodies were mostly a 14" 5on4, until later with larger brakes. You best bet is going to be someone who is into later B-bodies as they are mostly 15" 5on4 1/2. Also a common Ford wheel. Have you tried your local pick-a-part yet? Just take a tape measure with you.

thanks moparleo, i've been taking wheels out of PP for years. i've always gone with cop car wheels but this time i'm looking for something a little lighter without going to an after market one. i've posted this on FOR A/B/C/F-M-J/E BODIES but nothing yet. i'm in no hurry, probably have a year left on the tires i have now, and spring fling is just around the corner, so i'll see what happens

Are you talking about the Spring Fling in So. Calif ?

I'll see you out there. I have been selling door hinges that I rebuild and various parts I come across for abut 15 years now at both the Spring Fling and the Fall Fling. Depending on where you live, the Riverside show in May is back on after a few years. Mopars in May, May 19.California School for the Deaf is the location and it is a good oppotunity to do a little fund raising forsome of the less fortunate. Any way , I'll see anyone at any of the shows and can deliver any parts purchased from me up to the day before the show.
