I've "back yarded" a hole saw to enlarge an existing hole by clamping/bolting a wood brace to the part in back of the hole. You could use the lug holes... ...and work slowly and carefully with a real metal tooth profile. Diamond grit would be better.

That's what I liked about those 711 Ecsta's. Still soft but not as soft as OEM. (Eagle RSA?) Great compromise between traction and tread wear.

I LOVED the Ecsta 711 in 255/55/17 for my Dakota R/T. They were the best tire for the money. Unfortunately no longer made. Some Kumho's are made in Akron, by former "tire capital of the world USA" employees. BFG TA's ain't what they used to be. Coopers and Master Craft are better tires by the...

I believe factory Mopar trim rings have "one step" on the edge. It looks like at least one of the ones above have two or even three "steps".

Interesting- I just looked up Moapr 15x7 rallye wheel backspace and got multiple hits that it's 4.25. You want more? IE the "dish" on the front of the wheel is shallower?

I thought 4.25 was a pretty common BS. Seems like I've measured that lots of times.

Well crap. Anyone know any body that rehoops chrome/alloy wheels?

I believe it is. Thank you. That helps. I bet prices have doubled since I first made contact. :realcrazy:

This is a guy that advertises that he re-hoops wheels. I talked to him a few years ago about re-hooping a pair of my 14x6 Motor Wheel Spyders to 15x7 with a deeper "dish". Just wondering, as I'm thinking of moving that to the front burner soon.

205 70 14 all the way around my 67 Coronet, manual steering, manual brakes. I could parallel park that car with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

I understand that but I see many posts here on FxBO saying 14" tires are difficult or even impossible to find and it just isn't true.

I buy 14's all the time. They're on ebay for cryin' out loud. RWL, too.

I buy daily driver (actually all my tires) tires direct and they come shipped in pairs, banded together. Must be an incentive to do it that way. I'd ask about it.

I'm a huge fan of Mopar rallye wheels. In my biased opinion, they are by far the best looking of any factory steel sport wheel designed for a trim ring. IMO olds rally's are a distant second. It's hard to argue with the original intent of the package that involves an optical illusion I think...

That is a shweeet GT.

215-70-14 on x5.5 rallyes in front 255-60-15 on x6.5 rallyes in back. Looks like it was supposed to come from the factory that way. What body/model is your car? 71-74 B has a real generous wheel well, as do 67-69 Barracuda, and Dusters, Demons, and Dart Sports. It takes a whole lotta...

Probably no chance they'd do Spyders. Possibly my favorite aftermarket wheel.

Are those an homage to Motor Wheel "Flys"?

What size rallye's? The 235 60 14 I had on 5.5" had too much bulge. I went down to 215 70. I should probably remeasure them though I suppose they could be 5". Do we have a definitive list of available sizes? 5, 5.5, and 6? I put those 235's on some Motor Wheel Spyder 14x6 and they look fine.

B and E body cars could have 15x7. In 1975/77 they changed to 15x6.5.

I had to sledge hammer the rotors off of my '15 Renegade. The new ones got a healthy application of anti-seize on all the surfaces that contact the hub.

Cobalt drill bits.

If they move at all, get some good quality penetrating oil at the base. I've seen LH chrome nuts with hash marks perpendicular to the plane of the stud, halfway down each side, right at both sides of the point of the hex (wow, that was more complicated to describe than I thought). Keep working...

I like Mopar rallye wheels.

You can actually install uni-lug wheels without any washer. I'd not advise tightening them down though, as the nut will dig in to the finish. However, it allows you to see how the physics works. By the time the third nut is on, it's centered. They can only go on one way- centered. The...

For decades, "uni-lug" wheels centered the 5 lugs.....in slots. ...and it worked.

I'm still looking for someone to "rehoop" my 14x6 Motor Wheel Spyders to 15x7 or x8. I know someone who could probably do it locally, if I could find chrome 15" shells to fit. I'm seriously considering those Speedway Motors shells and finding someone to chrome them. I have a feeling that might...

Aftermarket conversions are notorious for not working with 14" wheels. Factory 10" brakes do work, even much later years.

there are two differently sized holes for the lugs on rallye wheels. I'm pretty sure the later ones with the round center cap have slightly smaller lug holes. However, I don't have any issue getting a specific, reversible lug socket through mine or an impact socket. I'd double check that the...
