| Post subject: | Aspen Rear end in Scamp, wheels question! |
I have a 3.21 SG out of an Aspen or Volare', I can't remeber but either way I think it's a B body and I am considering putting Mustang Wheels on this since they seem to have the correct offset. BTW I also did the disc brake boogie on the front so I have matching LBP on all fours. 1974 Samp. Anyway does anyone know if the late model Mustang wheels are a direct bolt up deal? I read somewhere the centering hole is too small and some machining is required. Also if this is the case where can I find the specs on these measurements? My son's car BTW and he wants the Mustang Bullit wheels which look like Cragar SS. There seems to be a few on the used market but I don't want to buy unless I'm sure I can make it work. Thanks |

Aspen/Volaré = F-body. Spring perches will need to be moved to work correctly in your Scamp. Wheel bolt circle is 4-1/2", yes -- just make sure the centre hub hole is compatible and you should be fine. |

Already put it in and yes we did the spring perch move. Cut off and welded new ones on. Shortened driveshaft as well. Had a 7 1/4 originally. 3.21 is an 8 1/4. Already in the car and working. Thanks, just wondering where to find the exact requirments in writing for the Mustang centering hole. |

Some of this you can do yourself; measure the centering lug on your axle shafts (or preferably a steel rim) with a vernier caliper, then find a Ford forum and post a Q in the wheels section. Im sure some techie will know that dimension if you look hard enough. |

You might also try TireRack.com. I think they have a pretty good reference chart or maybe a FAQ section. It's been awhile. Lou Madsen had posted something about this awhile back also. Try a search here on Ford wheels or check Lou's posts. He addressed this very issue with a work around of some sort if I remember right. |
