What style wheel? You'll need the accordion crush can and can probably just redrill the wheel to the factory mounting points. Or I believe summit or any other distributor will sell an adapter for the grant wheel. But I believe you still have you have the stock accordion like crush can.

I have just drilled the 4 holes & tapped the holes for the horn mount to make it work on the factory crush can

Without the crush can, your knuckles will regret it.

Grant doesn't have the proper spacer anymore for the Challenger.

To work best, the best option is to drill it for the crush can.
