Wheel options?

[Jobu]

Need help. I am looking for used wheels and want to run a 275/60/15 in back. What are the wheel size options to run this. 7 or 8 inch? Back spacing needed for either? Also what are most running for front wheel sizes and tires? Suspension is all stock. Any input appreciated!

I think you are close to the max size, but you should be able to go with a 285. I tried to max mine out with basically stock components (I did go with rear disc though) and I run a 285/40-17. The 17 was to allow for brake clearance and a little lower profile tire.

8" about max keeping it stock height. 7" front. These are with a steel outer rim. Alloys tend to run 1/2 sizes 7 1/2, 8 1/2.

I ran 295/50/15's on the rear of my Challenger with 15x8 Rallye's with 4-1/2" b.s. before I mini tubbed my Challenger. These same wheels and tires are now on my Charger. Yes, these are a shorter tire but I didn't want the jacked up look.

What back spacing do you have on these?

What back spacing do you have on these?

Front wheels are 8" wide with a 1/2" positive offset, the rears are 10" wide with a zero offset.

Hello 6PHRTSE, I'm at the stage of needing tires and maybe rims for my car. I was wondering if the 295/50/15's rubbed the wheel well, leaf spring or anything at all when you were running them on your Challenger? Because the Charger looks great with those big meats under there.

No, no issues or rubbing on either car. In fact one of my buddies liked my combo so much we tried them on his 70 Cuda. No issues on his car, so he bought the same Rallye wheels and same size tires.

That's good news. Without having all sorts of tires to "try on" its hard to figure out what you want, need or what even fits. Thank you for the information. I think I now know which route to take. Where did you buy the trim rings for the rear wheels? Were they custom?
