I got a set of 15x4 1/2 from a studebaker that fits perfect and has the large dog dish ring for the early cars like on my 62 darge dart.

Early Dodge B van is where I found mine


Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen! Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!

Not 5" but a 15"x5.5" was the std wheel for slant six trucks in the '80s.

The ones I have on my car are 15/5s and they had a 34##### number on the paper on the rims. I believe they might be a 1971 Four Door medium size mopar.

I haven't measured one lately, but the backspace should be 3-3/4" to 3-7/8". 5.5" wide ones I have a recorded backspace of 3-7/8". The 5" ones are hard to find, but I've sold numerous sets of them.

Eric - the wheel guy too.
