Guys, any idea if these would fit my 71 Dart? the PCD seems to be correct but not sure about the width. Ive tried contacting the seller but he didnt understand offset and inset, so couldnt get much useful info. The wheels are only 30 miles from me, but currently my Dart is not road legal. So I cant pop round and try them on.

Anyway all feedback welcome.

yes not the best. if they fit was going to get them powder coated black. Dont forget I'm in UK. So wheels to suit Darts Mustangs are not that common. I can find the right PCD at 4 1/2 " or 114.3mm but they are usually jap fitting and hence the wrong offset.
 
The sn95 which is the 94-04 mustang body style is the right year range for the stock bullit wheels to fit. It would be hard to say without knowing more about what brand and width wheels these actually are to figure out the most likely offset
 
Haha it would need to be very stealth as it's currently in bits and not UK registered yet.

Suppose question is, is anyone else running 18 x 9 under the arches and fit ok. im guessing I might need to play about with a thin spacers to clear either the rear spring or front ball joints
 
Why not put the Rallyes in the trunk of your car on ?

Or is your plan to make it Hoopty ? :)
 
What I have found, for them to fit my 74 Scamp, is a 1/4 inch spacer in the front (to clear the tie rod end) and a 1 inch spacer on the rear (to clear the leaf springs). There's a big ole long thread on Bullitt wheels here.

Oh ok, no that's not the look I want . But I was going to paint them matt black or gun metal grey.

Problem with the Rallye rims is I only have 3!

I have 4 off 14 x 6 Centrelines,

But......................... it makes the car look too much like a MKII Cortina or wheels on a MGB which is very common on uk 70's car.

I did have these on, but i'd agree these made it look Hoopty!

Yep there are meant to be dog dangles, but i just dont like them. Think I'll hold out for a set of 15" torque thrusts

So, the Cortina and MGB decided they looked so good, they stole the concept from Chrysler, well OK, and Ford and AMC who all used them in one bolt pattern (5 on 4.5) and GM who used them in their bolt pattern!
 
For 150 pounds. I say go and buy them. If they fit they fit, if they don't they don't, and you would be stuck with selling them. Since it is only 30 miles away, work out some sort of "deposit" that would allow you to zip home and test fit one wheel. Then you prep them and paint with spray cans. Dupli Color makes wheel paint for the US Market, so I would think that something would be available over there. Depending on the degree of pitting, I'd start with, maybe, 120 grit dry and work my way up to 320 grit dry sandpaper. bad pits could be filled with body filler. Then spray on a few coats of sandable primer and wet sand with 400 grit. A few coats of paint and possibly some clear. They will look great for a lot less than powder coating will cost.
 
They wont fit, the offset is all wrong and you'll be struggling to get a 9" wheel to fit without cutting. I won't even get started on spacers, hate em!
 
Uh yea, they do fit. Post #12 is not CGI. AND spacers are fine if done correctly.

To the OP:
As usual, you got yes and no, LOL. But there's whole big long thread showing cars running them, sooooooooooooo......................

You are running a rim with a bolt pattern in millimeters, not inches. Yes they fit, but they don't fit the hub as Chrysler designed.
Mustang rims and spacers, no thanks. Why not do it the safe,right way ?
 
To the original poster. Why not get another Rallye wheel to complete the set ?
Seems like the easiest way to go, and ah, they will fit as designed.
