    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 passenger 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.
