    I'm trying to get some wheels for my 1945 dodge but I don't have a clue on the bolt pattern. If anyone knows it would be appreciated!

    Half ton is 5 x 4.5". Three quarter could be 5 x 5" or 6 x 7.25". Power Wagon is 5 x 6 7/8" circle. Stu

    Thank you so much, it is a half ton. The reverse bolt pattern should be a issue when putting wheels on should it?

    Reverse thread? Do you mean you have left hand threads on the driver side and right hand threads on the p***enger side. Normally the nuts in such situations are marked "L" and "R". Stu
     
  6. Exactly how many more times do you plan on asking the same stupid question. I count 5 times, so far. You've gotten the answer multiple times. Go buy the wheels, for cripes sake

    Plym/Dodge/DeSoto/Chrysler wheels to 1970 will fit. Others will need to have a hole drilled for the alignment pin, even if they are 4.5X5 bolt pattern. Take a portable drill and 5/16 or 3/8 bit.

    Any reason why you shouldn't grind off the pin instead of drilling the wheels?

    I have seen this question twice at least. I pm'd you with all the info you should have needed 2 weeks ago. They will not change themselves, get out there take a wheel off and start measuring.
