The difference between Ford Magnums and Chrysler Magnums

[bull]

Is it the inside diameter of the front hub area? Seems I remember the Ford Magnum 500s being smaller in that area making it tight for a Ford Magnum going onto a Mopar but I can't remember for sure.

It is the inside diameter but it is around the rear axle where it won't fit on the Mopar.  Actually it could be the front too for all I know but I can say for sure that the one time I borrowed a Ford rim from a friend it was to put on the back and it wouldn't fit there, so...

I dont know about 14s But most of the 15" Magnum 500s you can buy today are bacilly Ford wheels.

I must have lucked out then because my 15 inchers fit.  Perhaps there are two Ford center diameters?

The difference between Ford and Mopar Magnums is the diameter of the countersink for the lugnuts.

Fords use a 13/16" hex nut which requires a larger countersink than the 3/4" used on Mopars. If the 3/4" nuts are used on the Ford wheels the cone on the end of the nut will seat too deep and might bottom out.

Both lugnuts have 1/2" threads so just use the 13/16" lugs when installing Ford wheels on a Mopar.

......or you can simply use the 3/4 wheel saver lug nuts.

I didn't have an issue with the boltholes, for me the center hole would not fit over the axle end on my car.

I sent an email to Specialty Wheel about it and they said their repro wheels are all the same, Mopar or not. They didn't tell me what the difference in the originals.
