8 lug wheels 3/4 camper special
I was checking ebay for someafter market 8 lug wheels for the 78 camper special and noticed that some said would fit chevy, dodge & f*rd, are all 8 lugs the same and what would be the exact description of it, I mean the lug spacing and needed back spacing. I'm just starting and not sure what size, 16 through 18 inch I believe.
Thanks ahead of time

Probably the same genius' that kept changing the bellhousing bolt patterns with each change of underware. Thats why Fords are junk. |

i have also heard that on the new 05ish + 150 have a non-symetrical lug pattern, the wheel will only go on one way, period.
