I see a lot of references that Mopar has a larger hub diameter than Ford, making certain wheels not fit. But I can't seem find the actual diameters anywhere. Could someone post them?

Thanks,

Yes. You can use the Ford rims. I don't have dimensions, but a good memory.

If you employ elbow grease and a curved side hand file, as I did in 1982,
it will take you about 20-30 minutes of work per wheel. One is still I wee bit
"tight" and I have to kick it loose if it ends up on the front.
I did this for a '66 Belvedere II using rims from a 1980 Mercury Marquis.
I really wanted 6 1/2" rims and keep my factory 14" spinner wheel covers.
 
i put cobra rims on my valiant. i had to hog the center out a little with a dremel, but only on the front. because the backspace was was too deep on the back, i used .75" billet spacers to fill the wheelwell and didn't need to touch the rims. i'll check the size with calipers for ya, just not right now. lol
