Am I working this out right?

These are unilug wheels. I estimate they will fit 4" to 5" PCD. Am I right or wrong?
Anyone help?

Normally unilug wheels fit 4 1/2" to 4 3/4" PCD, which wheels are you looking at?

that isnt how you measure em, you have to take a measurement then calculate the PCD from it. (4 stud wheels you can just measure em)

They look bigger than 4 1/2 . Might fit 5 1/2? (dodge pickup etc)

Right i have worked that to 4.5 center to center after formula (thanks Blue)

But I wonder how small they will go to. Will they go down to 4"?

Jeff the problem is with the unilug wheels is that you will be able to fit the wheels on but you wont be able to get the wheel nuts on. I know this having had a few A bodies with the 4in. stud patten. I will be getting rid of my front discs off my 1969 dart soon which are the 1973 4 1/2 pcd and the rear axle was redrilled to the 4 1/2 pcd as the is enough meat on the flange. If you don't want to do that I am sure cannonball or someone must have an old 8 1/4 axle somewhere that they don't want

Guy I you can have fist refusal after Jeff. It will be the top A arm and the knuckle as well as the disc As to fit them to a pre 1973 car you have to have all those bits
