Center bore wheel question...
« on: September 21, 2015 - 08:06:06 AM »
What is the bore size that will fit a 72 challenger?  I found a set that has 75...anybody know what range will fit?

Thanks...well yes and no...the rims I have on the car now are 72.6...is the 75 too much??

72.6 is what they measure on our cars according to the link...what does running a bigger bore do??

it will put all the centering load of the wheel on the studs , I doubt it would cause a failure , or run untrue assuming you tighten the lugs evenly & use the correct lug nuts for the wheels

you could have a small adapter ring made up to fit inside the rim , Brad could whip them up in an hour or so !!

sounds like you and brad need to start a business! (hydroboost brackets and wheel bore adaptors)....Id already buy two things in your catalog!   I really like the wheels...20 lbs each!  Id feel more comfortable with them matching up "right"...
