I acquired a (mostly) 1969 Plymouth Barracuda. From the photo it looks like stock wheel rims and I would like to put some nice mags on it.
However it has 15" wheels with a 4 1/2" bolt pattern on the rear p245/60 R15 and 14" wheels with a 4" bolt pattern on front 205/75 R14:

#1 What do i need to do to get 4 1/2" bolt pattern wheels on front? (the selection of rims is better.)

#2 other than rally rims (I don't like) I can't find matching rims with both lug nut patterns

#3 If you had the same problem, what would be your solution??

Any questions, comments or snide remarks would be helpful

Find a set of the 73-76 big bolt pattern disc brakes, I have some in Rockford, IL. You can also go with Wilwood if you have tons of cash laying around. Also check Dr. Diff, he sells complete kits. The factory big bolt A-Body discs run about $350-600 depending on completeness, you can still get rebuilt single piston calipers and rotors as well as pads easily for those.
 
That looks like a sharp car, now damnit post some more pictures of it. Please and thank you lol.
 
They sell a kit to leave your 10 inch drum brake spindles and upper control arms on and use 4 piston calipers with big bolt pattern rotors...

If you have 9 inch brakes wilwood has big bolt disc. No spindle or upper control arm change for either. Do a search . The big 1973-1976 a-body big bolt brakes move the wheel out 3/8 of an inch per side.

Who sells these kits for the 10" drum brake spindle? I have done a search and can only find a kit that is no longer sold. How about some info?
 

As above, BEST way to get 4.5 on the front is a disc swap.
But if that's not feasible right now..... find a 5 on 4 for the front you could live with. Matching styles with a 4.5 should be cake.
But yep, 5 on 4 selection is poor.
Summit let's you enter 5 on 4 in its wheel section, then shows everything they have or can get with that pattern. I'd start there.
