Billie's '72 Challenger Rallye

[BillieAutumn72]

looks great. i painted the tail panel on my '74 hot rod black too.

Nice, I really like the Hot Rod black, it's a bit easier to shoot and it looks great. I haven't had many problems with it yet, all marks seem to come off without dulling or buffing the paint up to a shine. I need to get my hood done so I can get to that grill, to get some hot rod action going on it.

Those rims are cool, think for the info on them. 

Just an FYI, I think the bolt pattern is 4.5" or 114.3mmor something like that and I think the newer cars like the 300 are like 115mm or so.  I mention this because I think that it was mentioned that of over torqued there would be stress on the studs or something.  I like the idea of using those rims because you might be able to dig up a cheap set from a local salvage yard or something.  Looks cool.

Here's the picture of the Demon I was talking about.  I was curious if they were really 300 wheels like I remembered.  I was right.  Rims are from a 2007 300 17 x 7.5 about 4.75 back space.  They look like the same wheel to me.

Yeah I knew there would be a slight difference, I actually figured out what those rims are, sort of. They're police car rims.

I dunno...if I had a set of those rims lying around they would be on my car too!  Could 0.7 mm make that much of a difference...i dunno...

If those are the actual numbers I can't see the difference in bolt patterns making any difference. Converting to inches .7mm converts to .027" on the bolt circle, they divide that by 2 for the radius. .... automotive tolerances are not that tight so I've found? Then add in the hole clearances.... not an issue at all IMO?

Hmmmm...now that you put it like that it seems like splitting ant hairs....
