All of those non-compliant things you noted are emissions related and not safety or Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) regulations or requirements for street or on-highway use. Regardless if it takes "a lot of money" to certify the wheel for DOT approval I wonder what's not in compliance??

I realize it says off road use only BUT then again why does it say this.

Installation Tips

For off road use only. The following must be considered when using Aero wheels for on highway/street use when the wheel/tire assembly is being balanced. Aero wheels are lug centric, which means they are built off of, and must be balanced using, the bolt circle and NOT the wheel center hole. Improper use of a tire balancer that centers the wheel on the hub bore, not the bolt circle, will result in an incorrect reading for rim runout as the center hole is not in the perfect center of the bolt pattern. The only machine capable of performing a lug centric balance is the Hunter GSP 9700 with the flange plate bolt circle adapter and no centering cone.



So apparently if they would even mention this then apparently there safer than you think. That justified it enough for me. If there would be a major issue then that would have been left out entirely. I dont think they would even risk it by saying that if their wheels werent capable being on the street

Thats my take on it anyhow. I think they will look decent. Ive seen some hideous looking combos out there but i def have the sizing correct so we will see how they look once mounted.

Here's a link to finding a shop that has a Hunter GSP9700 in your area : https://www.hunter.com/find-equipment/

Seems like the Hunter GSP9700 should be available in a lot of tire shops.

Unless you can get your wheels and tires from Tire Rack

"Tire Rack uses Hunter 9700s exclusively here at the South Bend store (warehouse).
They can detect the condition of the wheel and the tire separately, but with the tire mounted on the wheel."

Now waiting for photos

Mike

Awesome thanks man. Itll be a bit yet gotta get the quarters on and a bunch of things yet. Ill def be posting pics, in fact i may start a whole new thread of the restoration and post all the pics.

So i ordered the wheels. Aero said the 50 series would be better because the weight rating on the 50 is 4000lbs vs the 58 at 3500lbs.
So here are the part numbers

Front -- 50-984540blk 50 series black chrome 15x8 5x4.5 4” backspacing.
Rear-- 50-904550blk 50 series black chrome 15x10 5x4.5 5” backspacing.

They gave me a name of a dealer Day Motorsports in texas. I called they special ordered them for me said about 4 weeks.

I wanted to try 275/60-15's on the rear on 15x8 wheels but chickened out and went with 255/60 15's on 15x8 with 4.5 back spacing. I think I would have had just enough room for the 275/60's on the GTX but I'm okay with the look and ride of the 255's

I found this pic online. They have a better looking color with a real pic. I think itll look good on a 69 bee F6 green  with a black sixpack hood.  I ended up special ordering  the 50 series instead of the 58 series due to a heavier weight rating. But this pic i found looks better. Itll be something diff instead of the wheel vintiques black one everyone else runs and or the same style wheels that everyone else has seen for the last 50 or so years..

don't forget about the lug nut taper.
dirt track wheels are 45 degree seat angle, while street wheels have a 60 degree seat angle.
it would be a real pi$$er to have the wheels come loose and booger up the lug nut holes from using the wrong nutz............
you did say you were going to get some hub centric rings ?

Yessir i saw you mentioned that so i looked into it and ordered the lug nuts. As far as the hib centric ring ill get it once i get my new axles ordered from moser if i need to.

Good looking wheel, definitely lends a NASCAR vibe; especially if the car sits low with a bit of rake.
Hopefully the center has enough ID for Mopar applications. May be time for fresh spindle dust caps !

A12, I run 275/60s on 15x8/4.5BS on both of my Road Runners, plenty of clearance.

if i'm not mistaken, [not that i have EVER been before ] those wheels have the basic 3" or slightly larger, center hole that most wheels have to fit a bunch of different hub sizes.
Mally, glad to see you got the right nutz coming. it's also a good idea to get the wheels in hand to measure the center hole for the hub-centric rings.
those center holes can vary quite a lot from brand to brand and style, so best to measure and see.
something to keep in mind about those rings. unless you get custom rings made, you might have to get rings that are "close", then chuck them up in the lathe to get them to size.
i have had to do that twice. not a hard job, but you have to watch tightening the lathe chuck so you don't deform the rings.
also, almost all of those rings are measured in mm, so you will have to figure out what size they are. [i'm not a mm fan. just too old to fiddle with the conversion math. ]

Yessss thays my exact thoughts. Then i thought about if i am ordering custom axles from moser i could have them made to fit the center bore ? Just a thought

I think it gives a nice look, plus ita different. Something you dont often see. Which i LOVE being different but still have the somewhat old school look.

those wheels have a 3.09" center hole Mopar uses a 2.82" hub. wheel center 78.5 mop hub 71.5. I think these are the rings that come closest to you will need. Looks like the size goes from 78.1 to 79.5

Awesome i screen shotted that from the link, now when i order my new axles can i have them made with the correct center to fit tjose wheels? Im going with moser.

Did you end up mounting wheels yet ? I didn’t read the whole thread. I have a 70 super bee with 29x15-15 mickeys on the back of it with 15x10 wheels, I can’t remember the backspacing but they fit nicely, and look good to these eyes. I don’t think you’ll have trouble.

Nope not yet i ordered the wheels. 4 to 6 week wait for them yet. And i havent ordered the tires yet.

you might want to search out the tires now, while waiting on the wheels.
since there have been buyouts in the tire industry, there may be problems obtaining the tires you want.

Ill check i was going to get a 295/65 in a mickey thompson or hoosier. Ill have a long while yet till im ready for those. I have some on it now to move it around
