I love those old station wagons. Any more pics?

Actually, I just ordered the 11.75" rotors from Dr Diff a couple of days ago. I am planning on going to the 15" rims. I'd like to put 15x9 rear, 15x8 front. Not 100% the 15x8 will work up front...I really don't want them to rub.

Thanks everyone for all of your time and input. This is a great community, and I really appreciate it!

I never looked at the backside of the rims. I assumed the center bore went all the way to the back. So frustrating, yet so relieved now. I knew I was missing something! Thanks again!

I think you just solved my problem. Dude, thank you R/T Boy 67!

I don't understand it either! I spoke with wheel vintiques yesterday, and they told me the center bore measures 2.25". My hubs are 2.81. That doesn't fit.

So, I should be looking at the Ford Magnum 500's instead of Mopar? I'll try that... doesn't seem right, though

Not talking about the center caps. And, if my hubs are true to the stock size, how are all of us Mopar guys getting the reproduction rims to fit? I have a hard time believing every mopar guy is taking their brand new rims to the machine shop...

I'm not sure about Ford, but mine are definitely closer to 2.8". My question remains, though...why do these rims I see on so many Mopars not fit mine?

Thanks for sharing that! I wonder how many people have had to do that. It can't be everyone, right?

Hey guys, I need some help figuring out why my '66 Coronet Deluxe 2 door sedan wheel hubs appear to be too big for Magnum 500's and Chrysler Road Wheels. I measured mine at 2 3/4" or 71mm. I did a front disc conversion from Doctor Diff, and the hubs are the same size as the stock rear drums...

I got a set and have had zero issues. I should note that I don't have the luxury of a shop, so I've been using them on (fairly) level dirt. No cracking, so I'm happy

I recently purchased and installed some new, beefier torsion bars in my 66 Coronet. Got them from PST, and they're great! Stiffened up the ride for handling, but still a comfortable ride. I chose the 1.03".

Hey guys, Just got a '66 Coronet Deluxe as a project for me and my son. Haven't had a MOPAR in a looong time, and I can't wait to get started. Thanks in advance for the insight/advise/help!
