I keep seeing talk about putting various wheels on various cars with various rear ends. (Like 14" or 15" wheels on a 4" bolt circle or 17" wheels on an A-body, etc.) I have a wheel cross reference but it was published in the '60's. Where can I get something more current?

Not sure what kind of a "wheel cross reference" you're looking for. What information are you seeking?

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

All a-bodies through 73 have a five on four inch bolt pattern.73-up abodies have the more standard five on 4.5 inch bolt pattern, but a bodied with all drum brakes still came with the small bolt pattern.

95% of all other rear drive mopars (and most fords too) from the 60s through the 80s came with the five on 4.5 bolt pattern. There are some odd ducks out there, usually trucks or C-bodies.

A-bodies with disc brakes got 5-on-4¼" starting in '73 (first year for the single-piston A-body disc brakes)

Example:
http://users.isp.com/lifedata/Jantes012.jpg Of course a reference is a source you can turn to or study for specific or general information. A cross reference is a source by which you can relate various kinds of information to each other.

A fictitious example from such a source as that above, which illustrates what I'm looking for, is the following VOILA!

Oh look! Wow! You can actually use a 19" 1993 Ford Zebra wheel on a 1492 Studebaker Bronze Hawk which came with a 12" wheel!!

Non-fictitiously, I just saw something about a 17" Mustang wheel being used on something unrelated (A-body? I don't remember). You can only do such things if you know the specifications of many different vehicle wheels.

- Or have a cross-reference which lists all these sizes so you can browse them or reference them.

The superbly inexperienced like me must hope for the latter.

Thanks. Strange that you would mention Fords! Altho my main interest was in using Hupmobile wheels on a Stanley Steamer.

Thanks.

I mention Fords because it makes finding aftermarket wheels, especially slotted mags, much easier. Many folks just say, "Gee, I took them off my 73 Mustang, I don't know what else they would fit!" People in the know would think to themselves, "AHA! They will fit fine on my Mopar!"

I believe even the current production 'stangs still use the 5 on 4.5; iirc, the backspacing is different though.

Naw, meant to type 4½". Ever since the board quit accepting HTML characters...! Thanks for the catch.

Uh, yeah, thanks, I din't know that.

If you want a complete such guide, you want a Hollander Wheel Book. Should be no trouble at all to find one on eBay.

The short answer would be, a book of wheel specifications.

If you know, of course. That's where a reference would come in for non-in-the-know folks. So Ford wheels are same size hub-centric too?

Thanks

Enough to be of any concern in A-body wheel wells?

Thanks.
