Checked it out last night........ On my '62 wagon - the Dodge diameter steps up to approx 2.80 on both the original rear axle and the '73-'76 A body disc brake hubs. I no longer have the drum brake hubs to compare. The Lincoln spare wheel measures approx 2.78 Lug length is no problemo - wheel is thicker that a steel wheel - but thinner than the American Racing wheels I have on her. Either I need a 1/2" wheel spacer just for spare use - or to ream out 20 thou or so from the center bore dia. The American Racing wheels center bore steps up to over 3.30 - so apparently it's all about the lugs, not the center bore to center your wheel....... -----Original Message----- From: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gary H.
