OKAY all the crazy schemes are done. I am going home soon and my race car is waiting. I want to go to hoosiers for the Southern Maryland Nationals. Open 4 pays better start money and since stock 4 allows turbo motors and VTEC I may as well get more money for the same racing. I Have run with them boys on Radials and run O.K. I can hang with them. I need some 5 on 4 1/2 inch wheels, 2 of them for the back. I got Aero's for the front. I'll switch the tires on there for Hoosiers 970's I pick up in Michigan and groove. What cars ran them? just info so I don't have to measure every wheel in the bone yard with a tape measure. if anybody has some I might want 4 of them so I can put radials on a couple for the stock 4 race Vernon Harris memorial.

Rocky.. this is the best website I've found for referencing bolt patterns:

Also.. 4 1/2 inches = 114.3 mm ; you can get GM 115mm rims to work with a little massaging of the center hub area.

Make sure you check the off-sets when interchanging Rims.

You'd find that a Crown Vic rim would never fit on a FWD car.. they aren't offset enough for the front brake calibers.

That's what wheel spacers are for, how do you think I got the Aero wheels to fit? Even though they are 1" back spacing they still needed spacers to fit and a little attention from mister angle grinder on mister caliper housing. some 14 inch hoosiers would be better for the back, but I don't think I could score any for free. I hate front wheel drive, I want a real race car.
