I have found a 15 inch Chrysler steel rim that I would like to use for a spare tire. My question is about the offset of the wheel. It appears that the the wheel is not as deep as my aftermarket wheels which would make sense because the aftermarket are 15 X 8 and the Steel rim is 15X6. There is the letter "A" stamped on the front of the wheel so I was wondering if that means it is for an "A" body car. Were there any differences in the rims for A,B,E body cars? I know that the wheels for the Darts had a smaller bolt pattern.

No. The letter "A" does not mean it was on an A-body car. The wheel could be off any mopar car or truck.

A bodies were not factory equipped with 15" wheels.

Aspen and Volare' are F body's, Drew. They didn't have 15" wheels either. At least not from the factory. I've looked in to them a bit. My daughter has a Volare' Premier.

Some F-bodies did have 15'' wheels. Super Coupes come to mind.

Not the first time I've been wrong. Thier wheel housing's have more than enough room.

aahh an f body,well then i do know that the earlier cars did not come with 14"s ,but i do remember seeing them on the later cars such as the f body,but they had the larger bolt pattern and somebody probably stuck them on

Thanks for the input. I believe that I will be ok using this wheel for my spare.
