Regarding 14" wheels: Will 5" fit on the front hubs (original drum or original disk) the same as 5.5", which came with the car? Will either width tighten on the front and rear hubs, and allow the lug nut to thread on far enough and cause no wobble? Is is okay to mix-match 5" and 5.5" on the car, or should they all four be the same? Thanks!

Stock steel wheels? Ford wheels have a smalle center hole than mopar wheels and won't fit the mopar hubs.

What kind of brakes?

All are Mopar stock wheels. My 1967 Charger has original front disc brakes. My 1968 Charger has original front drum brakes. Will 5" work on either type of brake? Thanks!
 
Correct me if I'm wrong please, Mopar wheels were 5.5 and not 5"
 
318 b bodies in the 60's came with 5" wheels. The centers are the same as 5.5" wheels.

Now it brings up a thought, did 4 piston disk brake 318 cars come with 5" or 5.5" wide wheels?
 
Depends on how the backside of the rim is configured.

Post a picture I'll tell you if will or not
