These any good? Got them real cheap. Bought centers to weld in. 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... you have to be careful using these on the front.. they will rub the A arms on most cars... found out the hard way there are also some that are wider than others... narrower wheels are better of course

What makes have good 14 inch rims that bolt to 5x4.5 bolt patterns? Rules do not allow weld in centers.

I picked up a 70 polara on the weekend, never have I seen left hand threads on wheel studs before, is this common on mopars? Both drivers side wheels were left hand threads and both passenger side were right hand, after snapping three studs I decided to tighten the lug nuts to break the rust, and off they came

I went to pick one up that had no wheels or lugnuts on it. I brought a handful if normal lugnuts. They don't fit the left side. I had to pull a couple studs out of the right side to install on the left side. The front has a bolt on rotor from the inside, the druns were rusted stuck on the rear. Several hours later, I got some wheels installed enough to load it on my trailer. Then my winch broke. Then it got dark outside. What an adventure. I did get it home though.
