I've searched the site, but had no luck.  Searched the internet with conflicting info.  What is the hub bore for a 77-79 Thunderbird.  I'm assuming all 72-79 intermediates will be the same.  I've seen 70.3 and 70.5 mentioned.  And I've also seen 73 mentioned.

5-4.5" & 5-5" are different according to Rockauto
 
5-4.5" is 2.77"
 
5-5" is 3.06"
 
convert away. 2.54 mm = 1"

One of those is correct, I just cannot recall which, from 2005. I had to buy spacers back then, and I found the spec online someplace. The source I had make the spacers was familiar with the spec, which BTW will be listed in metric almost always(very common).

That would mean I have to use Math!  Why mess with that, when I can use one of these:
 
 
2.77 converts to 70.35.  That's what I thought.  I ordered 70.3.
