Mopars and Fords have a different center hub diameter, what makes a wheel hub centric.
It centers the wheel on the hub so you're not relying on the studs to center it.
IIRC Mopars are 2.75 and Fords are smaller about 2.6 roughly.
It means that the Ford wheels won't seat on the hubs all the way ( factory Ford wheel won't fit in a Mopar).
How many aftermarket wheel manufacturers ask what center bore you need when ordering wheels?!? How many millions of cars are running around relying on the tapered lug nuts to center the wheels?
My mention of Ford wheels was only to make the point that “late model” wheels still share the same bolt pattern as our old mopes.
They may share the same bolt pattern, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they will bolt on and fit, which is why I posted the info to clarify that there will be problems if someone tries to bolt them on.
Back in the 80's I was the store manager of a BF Goodrich tire store where we specialized is custom wheels.
What worked on cars back then is a different thing from modern wheels and tires since everything has an extremely short sidewall now.
The taller sidewall absorbed a lot of potential vibration problems back then, short sidewalls won't do that.
Modern aftermarket wheel use hub centering rings to keep the wheel true on the hub.
A custom wheel dealer that's any good knows that.
These are simply the facts, I'm simply trying to make people aware of them.
