    First time I've seen Magnum wheels on a vintage car.

    Seems like a project that needs quite a bit of sorting out.

    First thing that NEEDS to go is the wheels!!! How many times do people have to lose a wheel(s) to realize these do NOT fit!!! There IS a difference between 114.3 mm and 114 mm. These wheels are touted as 114.3mm, which is the very same as 4-1/2", but they are actually 114mm. You WILL end up losing a wheel or wheels at speed, because the lugnuts do not make full contact with the wheel at all - just in ONE small spot. There is now tremendous stress placed on all of the lug bolts, and they WILL snap clean off.

    I'd insist on proper wheels and NOT late-model sorta-kinda fit units.

    Other than that, nice car.

    Magnum wheels are actually 115mm. The offset is also way off. You can tell they sit too far in. Kind of a neat idea though. Putting modern Mopar wagon wheels on a vintage Mopar wagon. Needs to be done correctly though, with correct wheel adapters.
