According to Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) D66-18 dated
January 14, 1966, group 22 - wheels-bearings and tires,"Models equipped
with the 426 cu. in. Hemi engine will be equipped with Blue Streak
Special four-ply nylon 7.75 x 14 tires mounted on 5.5K wheels." I just
love that technical jargon! To put it simply, the correct wheel size
for a '66 Hemi Charger is 14 x 5 and one half inch. These same wheels
were used on '66 Coronet Station Wagons, if you can find one of those
in the salvage yard! Lug nut torque is 65 ft-lbs.

The bolt pattern is 5 bolts on a 4.5" bolt circle, typically
called "5 on 4.5"

A detailed step-by-step description for removing left
-handed
wheel
studs and replacing with right-hand threads:
66-67Charger.com
message # 61782
This will help if you are needing longer studs or just
want to go with the "righty tighty" upgrade. The right side
wheels have left handed threads.
(Editor's
Note: 1970 was the last year for left handed threads on Mopar wheel
studs)
