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.

Yea they are cool and I think you are correct that they are Plymouth or some mopar. How many do you have?

4- I got two at an auction and found two more at a salavage yard.

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.
