is this lug pattern right?

[wstcstjunkie]

ok, i was going to replace my rims until i noticed something different. the front wheel studs looked further apart than the rear. is this normal for a 69 dart custom 273/auto? looks like 5x4.5 in front and 5x3.75 in the rear. it has what i thought was factory disc brakes, maybe some put the wrong rotors on? please provide you assistance.....

I'll bet that someone removed drum brakes from the front and installed 70's styled discs. That woud give you 5X4.5 in fron and the original 5X4 in the rear

Do you have an 8 3/4 rear?Maybe time for some large bolt pattern axels?Or you could drill your axels and drums for LBP.

i like the 5x4.5 pattern, more choices for wheels. so what is the cheapest way to get the rear to 4.5?

 

[caferacerx]

8 1/4" rears are plentiful and cheap with 5X4.5 bolt pattern,

here are some pics, so i need to find an 8 1/4 rear from another A body, any other options?

You have a working rear end in your car, so I would just redrill the axles you have, or buy yukon / moser aftermarket axles and put them in ( if you have the 8-3/4 rearend )

8 3/4 aftermarket axles will require new backing plates from an large bolt pattern rear end. like a 8 1/4..along with drums..

 

[74scamp360]

the easiest way to get 5 4/5 is to redrill you're axles to that pattern. if not new axles.

You probably have the 7 1/4 rearend, I'd do the junk yard sourced 8 1/4 rear swap.
