If you can, try to stay away from the unilug bolt pattern.  What a pain sometimes.

No, at one time they were brand specific and gradually went to a unilug wide offering.  My understanding is that some of their wheels are now again make specific.

Don't sell your wheels.  They should fit.  There are newer cragars that are not unilug.  The part number you listed is unilug.  If you got them from somebody with a GM or just the wrong washers, that is the problem.  Washers with a centered hole are for 4.75.  You need the offset washers below.  Put the hole inward for the Mopar 4.50, if you needed 5.0 you would put the hole outward.

The 70 Challenger I recently bought/sold last year had the SS wheels using those washers.  Can be real frustrating trying to mount the tire and getting it all aligned to tighten them down.  Had me cursing more than once trying to use my legs to lift the tire evenly while centering the washers and snugging lugnuts with my hands   :eek2:

 We, with cragars, need to keep a light film of 10-4d on these wheels.  They will rust overnight without being out in the weather.

I know my Charger is not a Daytona or a Superbird but I did put the latest cast aluminum one-piece Cragar SS wheels on it with a MOPAR-specific 4 1/2" bolt pattern.  These are 15x7 front and 15x8 rear. They do not look like the original SS wheels but,  I am very happy with them and they seem to always get compliments for the "old-school" look!
