67 Cuda Bolt Patern?
« on: October 09, 2008 - 07:13:34 PM »
So i'm looking for new set of wheels for The Cuda and i can't seem to find out the bolt patern for a fastback, forumula S, stone cold stock '67. If any of that info helps.

Also would love some suggestions on some relatively cheap good lookin' wheels.

Thanks,
tdub

I don't know how crazy you plan on going with wheels, but you need to know what backspacing will work with the wheel size and tire size you want to go with.

4.5 back spacing is about the standard. 8" rims fit very well :2thumbs:

Tough to find wheels for the 4" bolt pattern. They haven't been used in over 35 years.

:clueless: Any way to solve this problem?:clueless:
Besides buying a adapter for them or replacing the whole axels.

And the old man said they had them on the Mustangs and Cuda's.
So I assume that someone out there makes something that looks good.

A 5 spoke Craiger SS style would be a top choice.

You don't wanna use adapters. They used to make Cragers for the small pattern but I don't know if they still do? I had them on my 68 Cuda for a while.

The Cragars I think were only available in 14" It is going to be real tough to find a wheel that will work. The neon 5 lug pattern is 5 x 100 mm and is close enough that the wheels interchange, so you might try that route. Just have to get the spacing right.

On my '68 Cuda I found some drums at the boneyard that had the 4.5" bolt pattern. They were off a 60's B body Mope that came with the smaller spindels. I re-drilled the rear axels for the bigger pattern, but you can buy the right axels from Moser or Mancini.

At some of the wheels manufacturers it says custom made. I get it that you could order the wheel with the right BP.
But this somehow sounds awful expensive, have any of you guys heard of or have made such an order?

Centerline & I believe Weld will make a custom wheel with the bolt pattern & back spacing you need , ni I didn`t say cheap & yes I have done it before
