Will 240 wheels work on a 122??? 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul on  Thu Sep 11 04:22 CST 2003 [RELATED]

You have a '68 122 from your previous posting, Right?

If you really want to use 240 rims, you could change out the rearend and front hubs from a late model 1800 with the 4.25 inch bolt pattern. Then you could use the 240 rims, and have rear disk brakes to boot. A lot of work just to use 240 rims (hopefully not the steel 240 rims), but if you want a certain rim for you car, then this is the way to go.

If you want wider steel rims, you could get the 122 rims widened ($400/set-new outer rims/powder-coated).

Vclassic has articles on converting the rearend out:
