Diplomat wheels/tires

[Kramer79]

Hi all,

I am sure the info is somewhere on the site but I can’t find much. Anyone have any solid ideas for wheels that maybe are on other makes/models etc? I am leaning towards the stock steel, hubcaps and whitewalls in 215/75/15 or maybe a general grabber 225 70 15… but on my Craigslist and Facebook searching I just wondered if any other known rims would fit, Ford ranger? Any jeep wheels? I know hub size may be an issue… thanks!!

I run the stock steel wheels with road wheel centres in summer (15x7 was stock on M bodies) with 215-70 R 15s:

I run 15x 5.5 rims and 205 75 R15 snows with the factory wheel covers in winter:

A lot of RWD Ford wheels have the same center bore, bolt circle and 1/2" stud size as Chrysler, up to a certain year anyways. With newer wheels you have to be careful. What may look like a 4 1/2" circle could actually be 112 mm, which is slightly smaller (and they use 12mm studs normally) and while they may go on, the studs will have side stress on them once the nuts are torqued. Can cause fatigue cracks and lead to the wheel and hub possibly parting ways.
