Default New Wheels on Old Cars

Anyone know if 2005 Dodge Magnum 17" Wheels (4 1/2" bolt pattern) fit on the 60s Fords that have 15" wheels?

i dont know...im not certain what bolt pattern the older fords used...do you have a 60s ford?if so, measure the bolt pattern and you will know for sure! however, i would be cautious of the offset of the new magnum wheels...make sure to check that first before shelling out big money...

The bolt pattern might be the same, but the hub center on the Magnum wheels may be smaller. As Patrick stated, the offset may be way off as well.

Don't forget the outer radius and the width of the tire treads and rim width. This will also figure in to whether or not they will fit properly. If hub and bolt pattern match you could change body parts if you wanted to try to make them fit.
