Where can I get Magnum 500s?
« on: March 03, 2008 - 11:13:42 AM »
If you have purchased magnum 500s could you tell me from where.  Do Mustang magnum 500s fit on e-bodies?

In answer to your second question, the Mustang wheels have the same bolt pattern as E-Bodies, but the center hole is smaller. It will only work if you have drum brakes all around as it won't fit over the hub of the disc brakes.

OK, I've been looking around, & if I don't buy them used from ebay I :ebay: think I'll get the 54 series from davidsrallywheels.com    It says they are for Ford and Chrysler.  I am putting disk brakes on the front though.  Will these fit over the hub? (please say yes)  Then if they do, how wide of a rim & tire can I get in a standard Challenger wheel well?  15X8... 15X9... 15X10???  I'm not sure of backspacing.  Maybe I should go to a place that sells rims & ask, but I thought I'd try here 1st. :aarg: - no one uses the pirate flag

The wheels I got from Summit (Wheel Vintiques) fit perfectly.  The 15x7 is good for tires up to 255 wide.  Get the 8" inch wheels if you're going with wider tires.  Note that the center caps are sold separately.

I'm going to go with 15X6 in the front & 15X8 in the back which will fit 255s.
