Hello Ihave a1974 dodge dart swinger
and im looking to buy new wheels Ifound some i really like and are extremely cheap but they are 8.5 wide will they fit????

 

doubtful

 

So they won't fit

 

you didn't post enuff info

 

Its a 74 swinger two door stock the rims are 18×8.5

 

with what back spacing

 

No offense to anyone but 18" wheels on a classic Mopar looks getto

 

You should stick with the factory wheels. It looks allot better and makes the value of the car high. I run into that allot in my job.my duster has janky after market rims it looks horrid. I'm buying some original rally rims. Trust me you will thank me.

 

I would keep the original wheels but I'm switcHing to disc brakes and there 5×4.5 and factory wheels are 5×4 So Ihave no choice

 

You can find re man rims to fit with disk brakes. I find them all the time. You just gotta look.

 

and rear is still 5x4"?

 

Yea they are

 

so you have stock 14s on back and 18s on front since nobody makes 18s in 5x 4

 

No I haven't got the rims yet i have the original all the way around Ihhaven't put the discs on yet would a 7.5 fitt

 

Would a 17/7.5 wheel fitt

 

Would a 7 inch wide wheel fitt on a stock 74 dart swinger¿??

 

yes they will. but you need to change out the rear axle to get a 5X4.5 bolt pastern. the only ones i found in teh 5X4 is a 15X7 rim.

 

Ya how would I change the bolt pattern????

 

Is there any really cheap way to Chang a bolt pattern?

 

I don't know if I would do it but there is an adapter available to re drill to the 4 1/2 size. It doesn't leave a lot of material, may not be legal at racing tracks...

 

Ya I would do that what website is it on??

 

the best and safest way would be to find a donor car that has the parts needed for the conversion. find a car with disc brakes and get the upper control arms and spindles plus brake calipers. and the rear axle as well.

 

I already have the whole conversion for the front.

 

the all you need is the rear axle from drum to drum. if the off set of the rims is close to factory the should fit with out too much trouble on the rear not sure about the front though.

 

OKcool thanks and my new disc brakes are 5×4.5 already

 

Does anyone know where i can get some really cheap classic muscle car rims????

 

what size and how much are you looking to spend?

 

Between 15 and 18 inch and 6 inch wide and like 250$

 

Im kinda on a tight budget

 

Aren't we all?????
