Do some work and do a search if it seems to be a common question. I believe your MOPAR and most later mopars use 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern which shares the same pattern as the Ford and not like the Chevy pattern. Look here for other wheel related questions http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/wheels/1.html Also look here for other commonly asked questions and reference material http://www.moparts.org/Tech/ Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Oh by the way are real sure that you don't have 4 1/2 inch standard bolt pattern. BTW it isn't the wheel that you will have to worry so much about it is the tire size and tire bulge that will get you. With mine I didn't want to take a corner to hard with 10.5 tires.

No question is stupid, only the answers given. I hope my PM helped. Hang in there, and don't judge all by the actions of a few. A few hours on here and you will see who to ask about advice.

Like Dart 340 said even though there are people on this board 24/7 don't expect them to be here to answer your questions as soon as you ask for it. There is a ton of info here and if you are willing to spend the time to look for it, it's here. And like any other board you will get answers you don't like either. Like the saying goes �opinions are like (self edited) holes every has one and you most likely will think they stink� If you have not figured it out yet 5 on 5 inch will not fit unless your rear is not stock.

Disc brake A bodies (about 72 or & 73 up?) were equipped with the 4.5 inch bolt pattern hubs drums and wheels. Never 5 inch.

It was something different from me too. I am usually the one reads faster than my old mind works and either miss or read something else into it. Gettin' old ain't fun.
