Just to settle something , what sizes of steel and ralley wheels were made from the factory in the small ( 4" ) bolt pattern.

Frank Long

HD steel rims for HD suspension were 14X5.5 .

Small bolt rallyes are 14x5.5 but I think many people think they have 14x6's by measuring the outside of the rim edge instead of the inside.

The std SBP 14" wheel was 4.5" wide. I have never seen a SBP 6", only 5.5".

Other differences, the back space on the SBP 5.5" wheel is less than that of a 5.5" LBP.

Frank, have you found something unusuall?

No , I have found someone on Moparts that is mistaken on what he thinks knows about small bolt pattern wheels. So I said I would post and see what everyone else says.

His comment was " They made 15 x 7 small bolt steel wheels and they were an option after 1970 "

I told him they made 14 x 4.5 , 14 x 5.5 in steel wheels and 14 x 5.5 in ralley wheels.

Thanks.... Frank

Don't forget the 13" SBP wheels .

The person that thinks they made 15 X7 SBP rallye rims is WRONG, at least not on anything that was PRODUCTION ...

well........those 15x7 could be considered small bolt pattern when compared to 60 something Imperial wheels........but they were still the 4.5 bolt circle, not the 4.0

Now this guy says.......

Second, I never said the 15" steel wheels were an option that came on cars from the factory but a dealer order item that Chrysler offered once 15" became more popular. I will try to get you a part #.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!

That's exactly what I said in the first place. I never suggested Chrysler offered 15" SBP in any type of wheel from the factory as an option.

I said Chrysler offered 15" SBP wheels as a dealer order item.

Just wanted to throw a pic into the discussion. 15 x 8 w/ 4"sbp...finally !

Drop the rallyes. They were never in my initial inquiry...

I'm speaking of a 15" plain steel wheel that I believe Chrysler may have offered as a dealer order only (parts counter) type of part.

I'm trying to dig up an old ad or other information.

Ok I looked up the DC Performance Book under Tech Tip #5 Rally Preparation PN P4120595. Here is a synopsis of what they write there...

Section 7 " 4 1/2" Bolt Circle Wheels -page 153

It says here to use PN 2836148 special rotor-hub assembly with all wheel studs 1/2-20 right hand threads. Also says there was a special axle for an A-body 8 3/4 with 4 1/2" bolt circle and all 1/2-20 right hand threads. That PN is 2513750-M and 2513751-M. And that the brake drum must be replaced with PN 2534173. It also says the same brake shoes from the SBP drums can be used. Which to me means those are weird special drums because A-bodies uses a unique width shoe I thought?

Section 8 Wheels pg 154

It says to use 14x6 Crager rims with SBP. Also suggests American Racing 15x7 work well but use the special hub and rotor assemblies noted in Section 7.

-Ok, that's one source. That doesn't 100% eliminate the possibility of 15x7 steel SBP rims. Next would be some old Chrysler aftermarket performance catalogs like this: http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/1968Hi-PoParts-01.shtml

Here the 68 Performance Parts Catalog wheel section:

Thanks for looking. I'll check my sources and Have my friends look.

That could be the case , but I wouldn't think they would be buying some aftermarket steel wheels to put on the car.
Althought if it were me , I would.......
