Do early Valiants have the same bolt pattern/offset as early fords?
I'm looking for 14" wheels with the standard 4 1/2" width.
Thanks.
Joe

60-72 Mopar A-Body cars have 5 lugs on a 4 inch bolt circle, (5 on 4) not a 5 on 4 1/2 like B-Body Mopars and F@rds.

Yup, the early A-body bolt circle was unique; nothing else used it before or since.

Thanks guys. Not glad tidings. I'm just looking for a rim for a spare tire.
I'll have to widen the search.
Thanks.

I have a few here on the West coast... but that is a long way to ship a steel rim.

Doc, Thanks for the offer. Let me see if I can find something closer. If not I'll give you a PM.
Thanks.
