69 Charger Tire Size & Gauge Question

[RonnieWest]

Hi Guys

I have a 69 Charger and have 2 questions:

What tire size do you recommend with 15x7 & 15/8.5 rims?

Also, where is a good place to get good electric gauges I can swap out for my stock ones? I tried Auto-Meter but they don't make the stock sizes.

Thanks!

I'm not sure anyone makes a stock sized gauge to put in a Dodge ralley cluster. As far as tire size, that will have a little to do with the offset on the wheels. Rears should easily fit a 275/60/15 IF you have at least 4" of backspace.

Thanks... how about the front size?

I had some 255/60s all the way round on my 69 1/2 car on 15X7 rims. But realistically I think those are to wide unless you're going for a roundie rounder look

I was going for the General Lee sizes... know what those are?

Nope. Sorry.

go with 235/60/15 and 275/60/15 - pretty much the norm and gives that slight rake look....

Gauges... noone i know of makes a drop in gauge set - the large gauges are 5" and the small ones are roughly 2"... hope that helps... if you want a different look have them converted to white face - I did this to mine and it makes it look VERY different.

235 60 15 front on 15 x 7, 275 60 15 on 15 x 8.5 rear....

Nice!!! Thanks...

I am going to do a custom gauge cluster to accommodate newer electric sizes.
