Hi, phf!

I'm no pro but if it's the small bolt pattern I think we're looking at 4.25" as the "bigger" bolt pattern, like on the Challengers, is 4.5".

Anyone else?  Maybe Ghost has a good idea.

The small pattern is a 4 inch bolt circle.  I don't know what the back spacing is.

That opens up a lot of possibilities for rims!  I always heard the small bolt pattern was tough to find wheels for.

Sorry, but this I gotta see!

You can buy new small bolt pattern wheels from Wheel Vintique.  I've bought the rallyes before.  For good wheel selection the larger 4.5" bolt pattern is much better.

You can also get small bolt pattern wheels from intro wheels (The ones on my car in the signature are small bolt pattern)

Rear backspacing is 4 7/8" and its pretty centered but you could get away with 4 3/4 easy or even 4.5" and fit a 255 tire on 8" wheel !

Thats my backspacing, not sure about stock ralleys off the top of my head.
