I found 2 fifth avenues in a junkyard and I am on the hunt for 15x7 large bolt pattern wheels for my Challenger, what have I found?

If no one changed anything on that car The steel wheels were mostly 15x7 with a 4 1/4 backspace and is a great all around wheel. You may find some with 15x6 but again the ones that I have found are 7".
I run a set on my 63 Valiant,64 Savoy,and they fit great with no rubbing.Your Challenger has more room in the wheel wells than those cars. Let me know what you pay for them if you get any. Some of them had aluminum but I never checked the width or backspace of those.

I forgot to say that the later years had "Mini" spares that fit disc brakes.I got one at the local pic-a-part that never was mounted on the car for $10 bucks. Some had fitted rug covers over them, and would look good in a E-body trunk.

I've found 15X7 and 14X7' wheels on late 60's Chrysler Newports and New Yorkers. And some Diplomats have the 15X7 wheels. Cop Diplomats and Gran Furys have slotted 15X7's.

Yes, stock wheels on mid 80's Fifth Ave would be 15X7. Cop Dips and GF were HD slotted 15X7.


Facts are stubborn things.

Well, this is sounding pretty good. Id say @ $12.50 a piece i will be rolling on steelies at a cost of $50.

I think i may run down and grab them tomorrow. I assume that small dog dish caps will fit, may need to take a junky one with me to test fit.

Thanks guys!!
