Mopar Rally Wheels on HF

[Alphacarina]

I'm using these 15" with a HF frame but then I realized that with 0 offset, they would rub against the frame. I replaced the axle and added a couple inches for looks and so I can have easily replaceable bearings. The axle was only about $110 locally. I ordered the tires and wheels at a Les Schwab and they did the powdercoating for me as well.

You could also use a pair of machined aluminum spacers to correct the offset - Cheaper than $110 . . . . I paid $55 for a pair of 2 inch ones. They bolt to the hub with the studs on the axle hub and have 5 new studs for bolting on the wheel

Don and Webfoot,

Good point, Don. I considered that but my concern was the extra weight of the bigger wheel, cantilevered farther out by the spacer along with the odd sized bearings. One other thing, ordering a custom axle allowed me to get the exact width that I wanted, so, for me at least, worth the extra $55. That worked for me, YMMV.
