Hi
Will these fit my pacers?
http://store.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/defau...=587775826

The screw hole pattern is correct, but .... are they deep enough to fit the front wheels?

Believe my car would look better with some caps. I can also print some a/p stickers to make them look original to the rims... Cool

Sorry... that link above didn't work verry good Confused


Copied from the AR web page:

Torq Thrust "D" Plastic Cap - Old Style

Chrome plastic cap that came as original equipment with older versions of the pre (70's) American Racing Torq Thrust wheels.

The older screw hole pattern is 2 1/8" between cap screw holes (see diagram). These caps will not fit newer versions of the Torq Thrust wheels.

This cap features the original American Racing logo with two stars.

PICS:

Looks like they might work. Original A/P caps are the 2 1/8th inch spacing on the cap holes and 2 3/8" tall. Cool roof rack! Big fan of black cars on Pacers..

I know this is an old thread, but I see all of you guys have been fooling with Pacers. Do you know right off the top of your head what size screws for the center caps? I have a crusty old set and I don’t wanna run the wrong size tap through the threads
