Hub bore (center bore)
« on: February 06, 2018, 08:41:42 PM »
Good evening. 
What was the hub bore on 1967/68 standard 5" steel rims?  I've heard 2.45" (62mm) and 2.75" (70mm).  Was it different on the optional 6" steel rims?  Asking about the plain steel rims and not the optional styles wheels.
Seems like aftermarket rims are at 70mm and I have a set of 5" at  roughly 62mm.
Thank you

My question relates to the 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern rims.
Thank you

Thank you for reviewing.  I'm unable to find a resource.

Thank you.  That would align with my ~2.45".
