Is it a direct swap?

What's the easiest way to run ss wheels on the front of a shocker without going to a wheel center? I just hammered the studs out of the rotor. put a chev wheel on it. (as close to center as i could) marked the holes and drill press done. now you have a pair of rotors that fit g.m. or mopar wheels.

Shouldn't need centers to put them on a Mopar, but they do have a pretty deep offset and will put your tires closer to your A-arms and/or leaf springs (depending on which end you put them on. Maybe weld the centers on the inside of the existing and use them to space them out...

The centers are 3/8". I know I won't need them for Mopars, but they'll be going on Caprices and Lincolns too. I thought if I make the center flush on the side you could see, and have that 1/4" on the back I should be in good shape.

Which year and model are you specifically talking about? I'm not a Mopar guy really, but I think Mopar used 3 different sizes on fullsize cars. I'm thinking 66 and older Imps used the big bolt Ford/Mopar rims. (5x5.5) 67-73 Imps were big bolt Chevy I believe. (5x5) And everything else was small Ford/Mopar. (5x4.5) Anybody, please feel free to correct me if I gave any wrong or excluded info. Just wanting to get the correct car info before we can list wheel options. ^^^borrowed from another thread because it should be in this one^^^ I would add to the above that there is a 5 on 4.0" pattern as well that appears on some of the A body cars (Dart, Duster, etc.) so what he wrote is correct because he qualified it as "fullsize" but that should complete the record.

Thanks dm440c, I knew their was a smaller pattern for the A bodies, but did not know exactly what it was.
Only reason I knew that is because I found some in an old junk yard that were smaller than the Vic pattern. The old man who owned it told me they were off a small mopar of some sort.

I found the wheels on the MERC in my picture on a Dodge prospector van. They're thick and tough.

Are the ranger wheels and explorer wheels the same bolt pattern that will bolt onto shockers and y framers? Also, what bolt pattern are the mid 90's Dodge Dakotas? I thought they were 5x4.5, but I did some quick measuring in a pick and pull and they seemed different?

I cannot fit Ford wheels on my pinch framer, center hub hole is too small Sorry, I should have clarified that...I know the center hub is too small, I've just torched them as well. Just wondering on the bolt pattern of explorer wheels and Dakotas.
