OK I have a 68 that the axels have been replaced with lord knows what. THey are 5 lug and I dont have wheels. Anyone know how I can measure the patern so that I can pick out wheels for these without having to trailer it to the tire\wheel shop.

thanks that helps a ton!

Now are there any issues with buying a widder rear wheel than a front wheel.... Will I just rotate the tires from right to left???
