Larger steel/aluminum wheels that will accept my dog dish hubcaps

[4thesporty]

Hello all,

I'm going through my M code '71 that i've had since high school (1996) but has been sitting in a barn since 2008. I am working through my brake system at the moment and have decided to use some larger rotors/calipers on the front (original power disc car) as well as an 8.8 swap with discs.

My question is that now my 15" Magnum 500s (that have been on since shortly after i got the car) will not fit any longer, and of course my factory 14" steel wheels with dog dish and beauty rings won't either. I really want to find a 17" or 18" wheel that will accept the factory dog dishes, nothing fancy, just old muscle car look.

I have seen 15" steel wheels that work for this, but nothing larger. Maybe I just am not searching correctly as i'm not sure what "kind" of wheel accepts these hubcaps?

Has anyone ever done this, or is it crazy?

Maybe something like the crown vic wheels will work for what you are looking for.

Bought new steel 15 inch rims from Summit Racing and painted them and used my caps

Wheel Vintiques series 62 are available in 17x8 and 17x9. I have them in 15x8 on my 71 and they fit the factory hub caps perfectly.

Yes, I saw these after looking at the wheels you used on your car. The larger sizes do not come in 5x4.5 bolt pattern unfortunately.

Sorry, not sure how I missed that. Maybe give them a call about the bolt pattern. I know they do, or did, custom wheels.

There's these guys too

Are you interested in selling the Magnum 500’s?

 

[4thesporty]

Not at this time; they are just older reproductions anyway

Ok thank you for reply. I’m actually looking for Hub-centric rims. I don’t like or trust Lug-centric rims. If you hear of any I would appreciate notification.
