So now I just need to find out how big the hub is for a mopar rotor. I found a couple wheels but I'm suspecting they may be ford. Do they use the same size hub cap??

I remember seeing one where someone cut out the center so he could bolt up the ford wheels to his RR a long time back.

The center register size can be opened up to fit with a dremel or light filing. I've done it before, not much of a difference really.
