But the hubs are the same for all the cars! How can they be different if they all use the same hub?
I didn't say they ARE different, I said they MAY be different because I don't know, myself, for a fact. Seems like somebody posted they're different somewhere above. I was just responding to that. However, I do know that the SRT stuff is essentially AMG stuff which I doubt is 4.5 bolt circle. Notice I said "doubt", because I don't know for a fact, by my own experience.
I'd bet if you put a guage to the wheels you will find that your eye's deceived you.
If you put the wheel on the hub and snug just ONE, tapered lug into the tapered hole in the wheel, that is enough to mis-align all the rest of the lugs. That is using a steel wheel with tapered holes and lug nuts. Now, if you had a thicker, mag style wheel that uses the older style mag lugs with say, a one inch shank, you'd get the first one snugged up and the rest of the lug shanks would not go in their respective holes.
Just so we are clear, I am in no way saying "ignore a couple of mm". I am saying "THEY ARE THE SAME". Big difference there. I agree, if there were off a little I would be against running them, just like I don't like wheel adapters. But that isn't the case here, because they are the same.
Well, going by my own experience and not somebody on the internet, I have to disagree. If you insist on being "right" on this issue, that's fine, you can be "right". The only vested interest I had / have is whether I could invest in a couple of wheel styles with the same lug pattern and swap them back and forth between my old 'Cuda and my new Challenger. I've determined by my own experience that I can not, no matter what people say on the internet.
If nothing else, hopefully anyone who is interested in trying the LX wheels on an old Mopar will read these different perspectives on the subject and be very careful to check the fit and decide for themselves, rather than just go by chit chat on the internet.
Get a guage and try a wheel. Prove me wrong.
