Title: Eyeball- Are these the same wheels?
Post by: Zorch on March 20, 2007 4:04 am

I noticed your coupe has what looks like some mid thirties mopar 17" wheels...  I picked some up at an auction last fall that I think are the same.  I was thinking they're Plymouth but they could be Chrylser.  Maybe the same...  Anyway, how did you adapt them?  I think they have like a 4.75" bolt pattern.

They are different. Mine are 16" x 5" and have a 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern. If you look at mike they have another ring on the center of the wheel too.

Yeah, you're right.  Son of a B.  I want to run these but I don't want to monkey around with adapters or machining my drums.  As well 17" cokers aren't cheap!  Oh well Matt hooked me up with a set of 16" Ford steelies.

Since you have all 4 I would re-drill the hubs with the correct pattern and run em. It usually isn't a problem if you are going down in size but you can sometimes run out of meat going the other way.
