I've seen conflicting numbers...

Anyone know the correct width?

14 X 5-1/2 is correct for 73. Make sure you measure BETWEEN the rims, not outside.

I know the road wheels were 5 1/2"....were the Rallye wheels the same or were they 6".

14 X 6's are pretty rare. I think they were a 70, maybe 71 thing.

Really? 14 x 5.5? Man... those are thin.

Thanks, folks!

They're tiny.  Plus you're way limited not only in what will fit such a small rim, and what's available in 14".  That's why I shelved the 14's on my 73 Barracuda and went with repro 15x7 & 15x8 rims front & back.  Looks WAY better.
