I have a 1965 barracuda 273 not commando and i got Free American racing 200s chevy rims. Front 2 rims are thinner than back 2. The standard bolt pattern is 5 x 4.75
The metric bolt pattern is 5 x 120.7..what do i need to fit these on my A body? Disc brakes? new rear end? New front end? Not sure on what i need its a bone stock cuda... Im dead set not these rims because lets face it i got em for free. Thanks looking forward to your advice. If these won't work what other rims look clean on this car?

5-on-4" to 5-on-4.75" wheel adapters. If such thing exists.

Or you could use something like custom Willwood front hubs and custom rear axle shafts. This would cost far more than new wheels.

Since you got these for free why not sell them and put the profit towards something that would actually fit.
 
Reminds me of giving my coworker a free computer and telling him that this was going to be the most expensive "free" thing that he would ever get. 6 months later he understood what I had meant, after totaling up what extras he had bought for that computer. It was free and even had ALL the software to reinstall everything. He had never worked with computers before and really got quite good with how they worked(crash course training)

X2. There are good looking, used rims for small bolt pattern available. I wouldn't waste my effort, money, or time on attempting to adapt to a Chevy rim, especially when it won't improve your vehicle.

If you want to improve your opportunities for finding used wheels for your vehicle, consider swapping to big bolt pattern so you can have more selections. At least that way you can run Mopar or Ford.
 
Yep what they said! Put those up for sale on Craigslist and look around for some small bolt pattern Mopar wheels. If you want to upgrade to disc brakes you can get 5 bolt 4 1/2" rotors and rear axles that any Mopar wheel will fit on. tmm
 
Those would look good with the centers polished (if possible) then flip them. The bolt pattern doesnt look like it can be changed on that due to the casting unless you got a Bridgeport, a rotary table and the skills to do it. There is a guy on Ebay that will make you custom adapters but they are 1" thick.
