Re: Dodge 880 wheels question

They look really nice and stock. Great job. You ever get this picture in your head when someone is describing something to you and you just can't figure out how it could work? That was my problem(not yours, lol). I kept visualizing, beauty rings with dog dish hubcaps. Guess the old brain of mind isn't at 100% anymore. That is why a picture is worth a 1000 words, lol. Thanks for sending it.

DJ,

I posted some pictures at the following:
https://picasaweb.google.com/115013310552314897903/63Polara500

I took two pictures of the front and rear tires. The front is the
stock 14 inch wheel with the stock hubcap. The read is a 15 inch
wheel where I tack welded the 14 inch hubcap to a 15 inch trim ring
(sometimes called beauty rings). You can see a 1 inch extra ring of
shiny stainless around the perimeter of the hub cap. It looks like it
belongs and let me keep the hubcaps that I like.

I also have couple of shots from the rear that show the clearance of
the 15x8 wheels with 275 60 R15 BFG radial T/A tires. About 1/4 inch
to spare between the tire and spring.
