IMPERIAL, CHRYSLER, (PLYMOUTH, DODGE) B and E but not A bodies. Not sure about sure about later ones (F, K etc.) A's had a 4 inch spacing. 6415509-IMG_2836_1_1_1.JPG (758 downloads)

Imperial) '37-'89: 5 x 4 1/2 Imperial 54-66: 5 x 5 1/2 Imperial 67-71: 5 x 5 An exception missed on that webpage is the 81-83 Imp, which was 4 1/2. Don't see 72-76 listed.

Just for future reference everything except trucks and maybe imperials were 5x4.5 starting with 1973 ...

(68 Coronet R/T, 64 Belvedere, 62 Fury, 74 Valiant, 88 Chrysler) Except the older A-Body wheels from a 68 Valiant. A friend needs 4-1/2 and I'm attempting to locate some wheels for him. I thought I could measure a wheel But????

The wheels I'm searching for measured 4-1/2 center to center. Does that make them 5"? Would that be an Imperial wheel?

Why did you measure them center to center when the instructons say back of one lug to center of the other? You're better off going back and doing it right. That's better than having us guess. What car is it for?

Could be 5 on 4.75 or 5 on 5 I suppose depending on just what size the holes are, best is to measure it the right way as mentioned. Figure on a steel wheel the holes will be just over 1/2" in diameter, so it would be another 1/4" or so than what you measured. If it was an aluminum wheel made for shank wheel nuts the holes will be somewhat larger. Measuring it from edge to center takes that into account already.
