Avenger Rims on a Daytona?

[1983Rampage]

I was wondering if anybody had tried using the adapters to get these to work on their cars. I have a set of the 17" 5 spoke slant rims on my Avenger and have always wondered what they would look like on a Daytona. I know that the biggest problem is the 5x114.3 vs. 5x100, but there are adapters/spacers that can be used for that. But I know that another issue would be the width, the Avenger rim is fairly wide and didn't know if there would be any clearance issues. Any help would be appreciated.

might be possible to swap the minivan 114.3 hubs onto the daytona ?

I am wanting to keep the rear vented disc brakes on the car, so the hubs won't work quite right. That is why I am looking at the adapters and spacers.

That Avenger rim is a 6.5in wide rim. Can't recall the offset, but with adapters you may run into fender lip clearance issues.

good point, never really thought about that part, may have to look up the offset now.

adapters with spacers are not super safe, i would just say get something that fits correctly

short of road-racing or Auto-X, spacers are an acceptable "bodge"

also cost of the adapters for the rims is almost price of a set of rims
