Will a 5 x 115 mm rim fit my 73 Roadrunner (5 x 4.5) ?
Found the rims I really want, a guy had them on his Chrysler 300, and they are a 5x115 mm. I've searched high and low for an answer to this question and have come up with nothing but a lot of ifs ands and buts, and a lot of gray area, just wondered if anybody had tried this or knew first hand if this was possible. To be precise, the car is a 1973 Roadrunner with the stock 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern and the rims are Foose Nitrous 20's. Thanks!!

Converting 115mm to inches yields 4.53
Converting 4.5 inches to mm yields 114.3 I vote "no." |

Probably not a great idea. Bolt circle not withstanding, I can't see how late-model 300 wheels can even begin to work on a '70s RWD car. Isn't the offset totally different?

The offset may be close enough to work. I know I was going to run FWD offset wheels on my car to get around a wider rearend.

There is a rumor that Chrysler just "rounded up" to 115mm because almost everything is in metric now.
Personally I want to get my hands on a couple of LX/LC/LY rims and measure them with my machinist tools and actually find out the real deal. Yes it is really close, and I don't know why they'd make it that close unless there is a reason... |
