Dodge Dart Swinger bolt pattern

I'm thinking of getting rims for my 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger.
the factory steel wheels and hubcaps are soooo plain....

What bolt pattern does a 73 Dart Swinger have?

thanks

ps, I've searched, but there seems to be a difference of opions on the net
some people say all the darts had 5x4, while some say that in 1973 there was a change to the 5x4.5 pattern.....

Why can't you measure it?

I'd agree, mesasuring the present wheel patern would be best. Someone may have changed something, would be terrible to order wheels buy the book and find there incorrect with the hubs on the car.

Good luck, George

If im correct, And i believe I am on this. The 73 swingers has the 5 on 4 hole pattern.At least my 72 and 74 swingers both had that pattern as well as my 64 and 65 darts.

my old 73 swinger had small bolt rims on it from the factory and it was a /6 car with drums all the way around theres a 74 360 duster inthe wrecking yard close to me that has big bolt pattern i want to say that 72 was the last yr for kelsy/hayes 4 piston disc brakes after that they went to a single piston caliper in which is big bolt pattern i might be wrong but i think 73 is a switch over yr between small bolt and big bolt

You dont happen to know where there is a set of hubs/drums like yours (FRONTS) do you? I am trying to keep my drum brakes on my 69 dart, but need to go to the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern so i can change wheels.
