    Keystone issues

    I agree with Demonracer, or if you are comfortable in your skills, you could trim the backside of the spoke to clear the weight on the drum. I personally, would run the spacer, but do your best to get the spacer that has the round holes instead of the 5 and 6 lug spacer with the oblong holes...

    Who's Duster? What Tire/Rim size?

    They look aftermarket to me. 15x7 up front with stock type backspace 15x8 rear with a reverse offset, or less backspacing. Tires: rear look like 275/60/15, fronts would probably be 245/60/15 or 255/60/15

    Sleeper car , what wheels !!! pics**

    I say drag star or drag lites style wheel. Why: When I see black or body color steel wheels, with the little 'dog dish' hub caps, I am immmediately suspicious, especially with any rubber out back. Drag lites or drag stars are more of the norm these days. Ironic that back in the days, the...

    Looks awesome, and well matched to the color combo of the car. Even sitting there, the car looks like a bullet. I too would love details, on backspacing, tire sizing, and brand / manufacturer / style.

    how to polish cheap centerlines

    Start sanding. I think the machine grooves might be too much texture to polish out with a liquid powder. I would start with 1000 grit and work towards 2000 grit. The smoother the paper at the end of the process, the easier it will be to buff them with the Power Ball, Flitz, etc.

    Using LX (New Charger/Magnum/300) Wheels on a 74 Dart

    Here is what I am referencing: http://www.plussizingguide.com/ I have their 2009 book in hand. ALL of the Mopar RWD LX stuff is listed at 5 x 115. Being that their entire business is producing a book that Wheel and Tire industry uses to sell wheels and tires, I would presume that...

    Using LX (New Charger/Magnum/300) Wheels on a 74 Dart

    5 x 115 is what the Magnum, Charger, Challenger, and 300(c) have. These are all the RWD and some AWD platforms 115 / 25.4 = 4.53 Effectively the new Mopars are 5 x 4.53 instead of 5 x 4.50 The 300 that is FWD like the Intrepid, etc is 5 x 114.3

    Gauging interest 15" Rallye's Staggard 5 x 4 with caps and rings?

    I am toying with a wheel change. The car is currently and will stay small bolt pattern. I will get some measurements as to what these are, but by all appearances they seem to be Stockton wheels. I am venturing on widths, I will have to take a tape measure to them later..... 15 x 7's or 15 x...

    SBP 15" Rallye wheels

    Here is a set of 15" in 5 x 4 bolt pattern. They came on the car, and have different offset front to rear. I will measure the widths next time I take them off. They have 70-72? centers, which are not technically correct for the model year, but they are complete, and nice shape, so I am...

    5x100mm to 5x4.5" adapter?

    The adapters are readily available in that configuration. I have access to about 100 of them in various locations across the country. Bear in mind, a 5 x 100 is not equal to a 5 x 4 small bolt pattern. 5 x 4 = 101.6 1.6 MM may not make a difference, as the adapter might still fit, but...

    75 dart sport wheels?

    If you have a slant car in these years, the bolt pattern is 5 x 4.0 Choices are limited. Some options: Cragar SS but only in 14" to my understanding. Centerline auto Drag Wheel Vintiques, or others have rallye wheels in different sizes
