Any pics of b body with 18” or bigger wheels ?

The problem that you will run into is that silly ridge they have in the outer wheel tub section near the quarter panel.
I've dealt with tire rub in my red car since putting the 18s on. I kept thinking that I'd do something about it but have yet to do so. When I bought another '70 Charger, I made plans and I did it.

Does anyone know if I can go 19x10 or 20x10 in the rear without mini tubs ?

The rims on my Charger that I posted are 19×10's with 305/35/19, everything is factory except what Kern mentioned.. that goofy hump in the outer wheel housing. While my quarters were off I saw that they would be an issue and addressed the problem. My buddy has a 69 RR with the same size tire, looks different on his with the different shaped wheel opening.

I take that back, in that picture it has 295/35/19's, I wanted more width and a bit taller sidewall so it has 305/35/19's now.

I really like that look, it really keeps a bit of the classic look in tact.

Hey snooprob. I really like the look of your Super Bee. What are the sizes of your wheels and tires?

 

[69_Coronet]

I just wanted to put in my thoughts on the low profile sidewall causing a harsh ride discussion. In general, if your ride is too harsh with low profile tires it indicates that your torsion bars and springs are too stiff. For handling, it is better to have a low profile tire and softer springing, as the springing is damped by the dampers (shock absorbers), but the flex in the tire sidewall is undamped (poorer control of the spring action of the tire), leading to less grip. I think the only time that a higher sidewall is a better choice for handling is when the road surface is rough enough that the tire needs to flex to get the tread down onto the road lower spots and to flex over rocks and such. You see this in off road vehicles where the tires flex over rocks to keep the contact area large. Given that most of our cars are driven almost exclusively on paved roads, this is very seldom the case. Drag racing is not my area of interest, so I can't speak to that. For appearance, it is entirely up to the owner of the car as to what looks better. Cheers!

My second '68 Super Bee had that combo too. Very rare indeed.
Idiot me sold it when times got tough a long time ago...

The cool things about the mopar is uou ca. Totally change the look with some wheels

Any one know anything about this car ? The tire size ?

 

[furious70]

Does anyone have a photo of a car with the 17/18" steel wheels?

 

[Kern Dog]

Steel wheels? Who makes a wheel of that size that fits? The new cars use a bolt pattern that is sort of close but not exact. I'm not sure about the hub size.

I generally don't like anything larger than 15's on a muscle car/ hot rod but I have to admit that some of the later b bodies with long quarters/ front fenders and laid down rear glass look pretty damn good with 17's -18's, it seems to fill the wheel wells and looks proportional to the rest of the car. When you start talking about 20's on any classic car your'e a shot of Hennessy away from building a donk.

Yeah I got burnt out on the forums so have been pretty quiet lately.

 

[Purepony]

The only car that looks good in a white and red stripe combo if you ask me

Beautiful!!

Got these 22" packed into my Belvedere, but they were both mini-tubbed and modified at the front of the wheel well . . .

These are to make the car a roller while I'm working on the bodywork and paint . . . and to see how it all fits up in there . . .

Here is an old style SRT 20" rim, they bolted on the rear and needed a spacer for the front.
