5" bolt pattern wheels

[patrick66]

What was the final model year of the five-inch bolt pattern wheel on Imperial? I have a line on a complete Imperial with discs.

1973

i have a 5'' bc budd disc setup calipers , rotors , spindles , steering arms . you have a need ?

 

[patrick66]

I have access to a '73 Imp locally. Shipping would be far too much to be worth it.

 

[pomonamissel]

but more change over to get that to work right ? isn't that front set up have the lower ball joints in the lower arm , not the spindle steering arm , like the 75 chrysler imp with four wheel discs ?

 

[patrick66]

I don't want to carry two spares, nor change the rear axles on the '66 to the 4-1/2" bp. I need to do some measuring, but I want to be able to use the stock '66 spindle. Scarebird does not carry a disc kit for the Imperial.

 

[pomonamissel]

did i say that i have 68 imp disc set up , are the hubs and rotors the same ?

[pomonamissel]

and you have those rims with all the u shaped slot in them ? well i never saw disc brakes factory on them . but the wheel bolt circle on imp's changed a couple of times , start life with your pattern , then went to 5'' bc , then down to 4 1/2'' bs .

Yes they look like the artillery wheels from the 30's and 40's

 

[pomonamissel]

The ones I have don't look like Ralleys at all.

commando1 , imp's has had a independent lower ball and steering arm from the 60's up not a married unit as the rest of the car divsions did . like the chrysler adopted in 74 , right ? not talking p/u's .

 

[pomonamissel]

I know Zip about Imps except that the 67's could be had with gorgeous interiors made from the hides of now-extinct Silver cows that free ranged in barb wire free fields in the Scottish Highlands.

silver leather is very cool looking interior . as a kid i saw a 74 vette , it was load'd 454 auto ps pb air cruz t/t , roadster , silver tops , silver body and when you opened the door , this silver leather seats and everything else was silver met . it was so cool looking . i nearly bought it just because it was space ship look , like it was from another planet . so gm must have bred some of those cows as well , lol .
