Wheel Hub Size Question

["RYAN LANDRY" <AUdubon5425@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I bought a '72 Ambassador wagon last weekend (my first AM in 6 1/2 years,) and had a question 
about the rear hub size.  Here's the deal:

I am sending the seller back his aluminum wheels he had on the car, so I bought a set of 14" 
wheels off an '80 Volare to use on the Ambassador.  They fit perfectly on the front, but it 
looks like the wheel centers are too small to fit over the hubs in the rear (the tire shop just 
bolted them on against the drum and didn't say a thing.)

I've never seen hub sizes differ from front to rear on the same car.  Can anyone throw some 
light on the situation?  Also, what is the correct size for the center holes?

Thanks,
