Question:

hi etrailers, I need 4 wheels set for a 1958 Ford Fairlane and I was checking your Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset - 14inch x 5-1/2inch Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black and I would like to know if I can use it in this car or the wheels that you sell are only for trailers.

Expert Reply:

The Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel part # AM20214 is indeed designed primarily for trailers yes but it could still be used on a vehicle so long as you make sure you have clearance and the correct bolt pattern which for the above is 5 on 4-1/2" (Most Common). Please note, the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel also has a positive offset of .5" which simply means the wheel will sit inside the wheel well more. That said, the manufacturer does not recommend using Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel on a vehicle so you will need to proceed at your own risk.

If you want to use the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with the Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap then you will also need part # AM90086.
