The rear has been covered in depth. I personally don't remember what the options are - stock look was my goal. I know it's pretty wide, though.

A 1975 with SBP would have to be drum brake. Bolt pattern or brake type does not affect the maximum width of rim you can use (although disks do limit minimum diameter). What does change is the backspacing. A disk brake A body has a somewhat wider track in front, and therefore can tolerate a...

Well to further describe my axle variance, there is 1/2" greater distance from the outer tread of the tire to the inner lip of the wheelwell on the driver side (real scientific method, I know). So I split the difference to come up with the 1/4" I stated earlier, figuring the axle shifted 1/4" to...

On further consideration, I have to agree. My axle seems to be shifted 1/4" to the right, and it's noticeable. I've seen other cars that look this way, and I'm told it's not uncommon for production to vary by that amount. If I think about it, for $90.00 shipped (from NM), I'm solving my bent...

Well the bold circle is 5x4.5." As for the width, I thought my original steelies were 4.5" wide, and the Rally's 5.5" or 6", depending on application. My set is definately 14" x 5.5" (measured them all, and mounted tires myself). ahandful hit the nail on the head with the last sentance of...

Thanks for the reply. Well that's a third number from what I have been finding. Thankfully, the seller is going to give me some time, so I'll pull a wheel and measure them when I get home.

Have you converted the passenger side studs over to RH thread?

I feel like I shouldn't need to start a new thread on this, but both my FABO and general internet searches are giving me conflicting information. I have 14" x 5.5" large bolt pattern factory Rally wheels on my car (in sig pic). Are they all the same backspace, and if so, what is it? The...

Awesome! Nice stagger and stance.

Looks awesome.

Looks really nice. Radial T/As seem to run a bit wider than other brands of the same size.

I have two of #1 style, and two of the one piece version of that on my car. I think the one piece is the correct one. I have only seen the two piece on F bodies. If anyone can clarify, I'd be interested to know. Great looking car. What size tires are those?

I'm not sure if I'd be too concerned with unsprung weight on a "straight line" car. I'd go with any factory offered wheel. The poverty cap look obviously screams basic. I'm not sure if it's the best choice for white, though. The full covers are a bit boring for me, although they would definitely...

I have the 500's and love them. I have also had a set of T/A's on a different car, and while they were awesome in the dry, they were slippery in the rain. But since they were different cars (T/A's were 225/50/16's on a BMW 535is) it's kind of apples and oranges. In your area, rain performance is...

8 1/4 came in both, and are MUCH cheaper and easier to find. There is a pick a part in the LA area that has an original Duster 360 with an 8 1/4" At least as of a month ago. The 4bbl kickdown linkage going into my car came from that, and was only $15.00. I have a buddy out that way that got it...

8 3/4 a body rears are all small bolt pattern, so nothing will change. Does your car have disk brakes?

List them here. You don't know until you try.

Those would be great for the rear of a Duster, paired with the stockers on front. So many people run the 14" - 15" stagger to get big tires on the back. I'd rather have the same diameter all the way around, and you really need to run 60 series on an A-Body with 15"s, which I don't care for...

Kind of like an updated Magnum 500. Would probably look awesome on a B-body.

I don't know what they are, but if they fit your car, and you like them, get them. Those are really cool!

Somewhat off topic, but I have noticed many OE alloys (BMW comes to mind, because I have owned them) powdercoat the wheel first, then paint the outside silver. It works out to having a painted finish that is also very durable, since most alloy wheel paint failures come from oxidation from stone...

I had a set of the second style when I had my '67 2dr post. I had a second set of sbp 14" wheels from a Formula S, and those dog dishes fit both the 13's and the 14's.

With BBP, you can use Ford Magnum 500's in 15"

From those two examples, I'm voting for the slots (I'm surprised myself). Could be the white letters giving it an unfair advantage, though.

Might get lucky at a salvage yard. 15 years ago, they were all over the place.
