Default Can I use these wheels?

Hi, what will I need to do to use these wheels on a '75 ?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting

Does the bolt pattern match ?
Do I need spacers ?
What will they rub against ?

Thanks for the help.

The bolt patterns fo the wheels are the same, but the offset is different. To get them to fit, you will need some big spacers. To get them to work, 1.5" spacers will be the least. To bring the wheels to the edge of the fender, 1.34" spacers will be the best.

You can buy all four on Ebay all day long, two auctions, usually abour $150 for both sets. Then, you're in business.

A few other forum members have doen this very swap, and I think it looks great. Maybe they will chime in and post their pics.
