    Need a quick answer if possible

    I found some rims for my sons Duster they are 15 x7.5 and 15 x 8.5 with 4 inch back spacing and are unilug rims (fit both bolt patterns). Not a big fan of unilugs but this gets our 15inch rims for his car. Now the question - Will they Fit for a 1970 Duster??????? Thanks in advance.....
