Found some aftermarket rally wheels, 5x4.5 bbp 17x8, 0 offset with 4.5 bs. Here's a picture of the tag.

I have a stock 69 Dart, currently with 14in rally sbp, but have Kelsey Hayes front set up and rear end that I'll do bbp.

If these won't work I can get 15in police wheels for 50 bucks

If you put Chevy rally wheels on your Mopar, you will never live it down.

Live what down? Being awesome and having a car that my daughter loves dearly and thinks she has the coolest car in the world with pretty wheels?

We were actually looking at replacing the 340 with a new LS7 too .
 
The Kelsey Hayes discs are small bolt pattern. (5 hole 4") Unless you want to buy 2 sets of wheels...........

I see thanks for the teaching as always I'm wrong haha. maybe I have not Kelsey Hayes, as I thought that was the name for the bbp discs which is what I have.

I've also looked at wilwoods which could be an option, currently I'm just looking for deals on everything I need to do the bbp swap and when I have it all I will start swapping it on
 
My opinion
Installing Willwoods to get a 4.5boltcircle to run Chebby or Ford wheels, is ridiculously not cheap. Put the off-brand wheels on your trailer....... Besides plain chrome wheels IMO looks like Daddy is a cheapazz. And I get that, I was too; just don't make your daughter a victim; better to leave the stock wheels on there until you can afford something a little more up-scale.

Daddy is a cheap ***, likes getting a good deal, and doesn't really care if people think he has the "wrong" wheels on it. :)

I don't think she feels like a victim in this car, maybe you could decide?

pretty sure all the A-body Kelsey-Hayes are small, 4" bolt pattern. HERE. if you want to swap out to large bolt pattern get the stock 73' up setup.
start here with a little patience you can do this as cheep as anything else and it will be the easiest to maintain
 
He's not square with the tape measure in the pic, I would say he has the 4.5"... I f he can get the cop wheels cheap, I would go with them.
 
At that age girls like shiny anything; I thought from a former post when you called it her car, she might be driving it to school, and that leads straight to peer-pressure.
But since it might be her car, in name only, and you are likely the principle driver; Sorry I ruffled your feathers.
By the time she gets to drive it, those IMO, shiny dual-pattern cheap chrome trailer wheels will be long gone.

Best measure the wheels. What is stamped on the box doesn't look like what's inside. Just sayin'

I have it all for the front, in my parts pile lol. It's either this or wilwoods if I do it. I'm always so undecided, so many people say the wilwoods disc brake swap is their best investment ever in their cars.

slider calipers and big BJ's, nice. clean everything up, replace what you need to, and have a good time. the lower arms already have tabs on them, hopefully they line up with the sway bar. keep your intended use in mind, those brakes are capable of locking up any tire your likely to be running in the next couple years. keep it simple and have fun. also use what ever wheels you like, as long as they fit.
 
Just found some bbp rallyes off a 77 charger local

Guy is at a car show will get me pics later, I'll ask him what he wants for them.

She will probably not be driving this at 16, she will probably be driving a Jeep Wrangler or a charger scat pack or something "cool" and new with more comfort features.

Yes the wheels will probably be long gone by then, but I will still be a cheap *** :rofl:

I ask for a lot of advice in here and know there are much smarter guys in here than I am and always appreciate the advice on how to correctly fix or do something, and majority of the time I do it the way I'm told is the correct way.


My feathers aren't ruffled and I don't get offended or upset very often. Just think it's comical when people tell someone else how to build their car, or what is the proper thing to do with their car (esthetic wise). I appreciate cars, I love Mopars, I'm not smart or rich and I'm ok with that. At the end of the day if my kids and myself are happy with how it looks, drives, and feels that's all that matters :)
 
and fix any bumpsteer,or crappy scrubradius, that might occur, on the alignment rack... before the shakedown run.

But you're right; you asked if they would fit. And the answer is on 73 up bbp discs yes.
But just because they physically fit on the studs doesn't mean you should run them, and that statement has nothing to do with them being shiny or Chebby truck wheels..

Yea I've been getting some front end vibrations right now at about 65mph on the freeway so I figure I need new front end bushings anyways.

I think they are a fine looking wheel, however, there are so many jerks out there who degrade anything other than Mopar, you will get crap from them. Just trying to spare you and your daughter grief. Rod

PS 50 bucks for police wheels, all four?, is a really good deal.
