    wheel not fitting?

    Do any of the drums get hot in a short distance. I'd look for damage to the front end due to improper lift use.

    wheel not fitting?

    Why not just put a few washers on each lug and just tighten the drum down. If it spins freely you probably have a wheel problem. I've had problems with Chinese drums not cut deep enough that would bottom on the shoes when tightened. And if you are cranking down on the lugs hard enough to snap...

    Now it`s DUB...

    Most of it I can live with, but the front is too high. I picture it with a straight axle. Tell ya what what, pull the the front wheels off the ground and dust a couple of big blocks with it. That would redeem the high front end.

    Rally wheels

    No need to restore as they were decent shape. Couple of the trim rings were not great, but for a couple hundered and the tires who could complain.

    Rally wheels

    I picked up a set similar to those for the same price. I just commented on a post where a set was going for $900.00. The original add is gone I think.

    Why LH thread lug nuts?

    They could have made them all left handed and they would work. In fact I suppose lefty tighty could be the norm if they wanted. Who knows.

    Why small bolt pattern?

    Who cares. It is on far too tight, and if it falls off, oh well it falls off. If I'm not mistaken I have had engines that didn't even use one.

    Why small bolt pattern?

    The rotation of the wheel will actually try to tighten the nuts. Not tight as in torqued, just in the direction of tight. So if you were to forget to tighten them there is a chance they would not come off. It isn't a matter of who, it is a law of physics.

    Why small bolt pattern?

    The engineering on left hand lugs is sound. They normally shouldn't work themselves loose, same as the right hand lugs on the other side would tend to stay on as opposed to unscrewing completely. It is of course confusing as most drivers and tire people for that matter are not engineers. Some...

    Why small bolt pattern?

    I'll take a wild guess and say less material saved them some cash. Money is why they do anything. If no one wanted a muscle car, there wouldn't be any.

    How to Measure for the correct back spacing?

    April 2010 Mopar Muscle. If you have it or can get it online there is a tech article that tells you step by step so you can get an exact number. They even turn you on to a couple of people who can custom make your wheels to exactly what you want, if that's your thing. Article name: "...

    Which silver paint? To Clear or not to Clear?

    So you decided on the indoor stuff. I admit paint is one of those things I know nothing about, but it must say indoor for a reason.

    Tired tires

    You don't have to drive it. You don't even need to start it. Just move it a couple of feet every now and then. You will have to determine the interval by trial and error. My tires don't get flat spots. I park it on crooked ground.

    Jeep Cherokee Rims on a 74 Duster?

    I tried this on my 68 charger. They were fine in back, but did not fit right on the drum brake up front.
