68 PlymouthValiant custom interior idea

Found out something interesting on the HubGarage.com. http://www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/Valiant100SM/vehicles/8036/photos/246744

In regards to finding rims to fit. LOL! I know that some people may not be interested in putting on the Found on road dead rims, lol!!

Now would that mean you could put any Ford rims on there as long as you have them set the way the guy explains on his site??

‘73+ spindles and discs up front, 65-67 B-body rear axle (wider than A-body, but narrower than other B’s).

Those are actually Mustang Cobra wheels from the 95-96 model year. To fit, the hub bores need to be opened up to fit the larger Mopar hub, but that’s easy machine shop (or sanding roll…) work. If you go the machine shop route, get them opened up to 73mm, a common hub ring DIA and get the proper hub ring to be perfect. Then you can sell them to anybody at a later date, not just another Mopar guy. FWIW, there’s a set on Epay right now for about $150.

That said, you can run just about any of the 95-05 Mustang wheels with the same hub bore surgery, or similar aftermarket wheels that use hub rings. The magic number for the 73+ front end is 5.7” of backspace. More than that will interfere with the outer tie rod ends. Without the wider rear axle, you’ll need about a 1” spacer on the rear. Fit is great with a 245/45, and tight with a 275/40-17.
