Hey guys,
I have been eyeballing the local authorities wheels and want to see what they'd look like on my car. If anybody has a set or knows where to get them inexpensively please post or PM me.
Wow. Now that's a cool idea. Do you guys have any idea if the bolt pattern is the same (as on our 40 year old cars). What is the width and backspacing? I'm seeing a relatively inexpensive way to try out big wheels without committing to a set of REALLY expensive ones..
Well to be honest I kinda decided to go the old fashioned route and found a set of 15" cop wheels and caps this past weekend. But yes they do have the same bolt pattern and I know I have seen a few people with later model charger wheels on older B-bodies. Not sure of the backspacing but they seemed to fit ok on their cars.
Someday if I run across a set of these really cheap i may still pick them up.
I think the bolt pattern is the same. I took a rim/tire from my wife's 96 intrepid and put it on my 69 RR. It fit good in the rear but the front was too close on the backside of the rim and I couldn't turn the car as sharp. Hers were 16 inch rims. Something to check.
The bolt pattern on the modern Mopars is actually 5x115, so I'm sure with the slightest bit of modification, if any, you could get them to fit a 5x4.5 (5x114.3) bolt pattern. The backspacing on the police wheels, I'm not totally sure of.
They do bolt up, as for the offset the front fits fine but the back needs 1.5" spacer. I borrowed my buddies wheels to try out, personally i think the fronts look a little big
