looks good. Would look a lot better with a bit more sidewall in the rear.

They do look good with a fender tucked around them.

It is actually 25.4 mm = 1"

Tx Firefighter · 02-08-2010, 01:28 PM

You are right. I mis-typed.

silvervic99stang · 02-09-2010, 07:36 PM

i bought one today at the local salvage yard for 50 bucks, that kinda of high if you ask me.. it beats the online price of 118 with shipping...just 3 more to go

cajundragger · 02-11-2010, 07:11 PM

I have them on my truck, no adapters.

cajundragger · 02-11-2010, 07:14 PM

oh yeah and the rims can't be redrilled, its hard to describe, but its because of the way they are stamped out.

texastrendz · 02-15-2010, 11:37 PM

more info PLZ

GRIMSS · 02-16-2010, 06:45 PM

I'm pretty sure cajundragger has MII rotors drilled to the dodge pattern and I'm pretty sure he has changed the rear axles to match.

Yup, thats how I did mine. You can get everything you need for this conversion thru Scotts Hotrod!

Curious about the specs on these wheels particularly the backspacing?

tks

**CHIZZLER** · 04-02-2010, 02:54 PM

25.4 actually, I know 2/10ths of a mm is ony .00508 of an inch but it adds up.......

tcb-1 · 04-03-2010, 11:00 PM

^ correct, 25.4 mm = 1.00"

Tx Firefighter · 04-03-2010, 11:02 PM

We already covered it. I mistyped the response and it was corrected. See posts 28 and 29.

**way2lo2** · 04-04-2010, 09:50 PM

I put a set of the dodge rims on my 62 Belair a couple of years ago, they looked kind of silly on it so I put some stockers back on. I'll probably end up selling these if I don't find another use for them. I welded some rings on mine that I attached clips for the dog dish hub caps

tcb-1 · 04-04-2010, 10:05 PM

you may not like them, but I think those rims on your Belair are sick! gives it that pro-touring feel.

but I love that Belair with any wheel/tire setup. drooooool......

**CHIZZLER** · 04-06-2010, 06:23 PM

well i got my dodge steelies in today. i took some measurments and it looks like i need 1.25 adapters. they should be here friday.will post some pics after there on.

**CHIZZLER** · 04-08-2010, 05:41 PM

Here is a pick of the dodge steelies mounted with 255/35/20.

squarecrewcab · 04-09-2010, 12:19 AM

how would these wheels look on a layed out square body crew cab short bed (CCSB)?

**CHIZZLER** · 04-09-2010, 07:38 PM

Here are some pics of the dodge steelies.
