I found these rims http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARE-88188069342/

I'd like to put them on my 68 dart but question whether they will fit? I know I could yank the rim and tire and measure but was wondering if any of you knew off hand.

Also, what do you think of these. Car will be black as well.

Wow. I'm really surprised to see those in a 5x4" pattern.

Unfortunately, they won't fit without spacers. They list a 6.15" backspace, so you'd probably need 1" spacers to make those fit.

As far as the rim itself, to each their own. I don't think I'd run them on my car, but that's just me. But aftermarket wheels with the 5x4" pattern are hard to come by.

I was surprised too. So they will fit with a spacer? Nice.

So these would work too then?

5 on 4" to 5 on 4.5" and they are 1" thick.

Now would the original wheels posted work on the front as well?

You would need something like this.

Of course, you'd have to find something like that for a 5x4" pattern. You might be able to contact that seller. Now, if you were really thinking, you'd get a set that just adapts the 5x4" to a 5x4.5". If you look, you'll notice they already make spacers/adapters for a lot of the more popular sizes.

You may get them on the back but I'm not sure about the front.
