Magnum 500 Wheel Dilemma

[rikubot]

Hi everybody I have a '69 Charger that I want to look pretty close to stock, but have a little beefier wet of wheels. I am sure that I want the Magnum 500s, but i DON'T want to do any modification to the rear end and such. What I am asking is, Could anybody with these wheels post pix and dimensions for me to look at? preferably on 68-70 chargers. Any help is much appreciated!

Here's a good video. The 15x8 fill out the quarters really nice. That's what I'm going with on my 70 RR

This Charger has been updated with some brand new 15x8 Magnum 500 wheels and BFG tires. (295/50/15 in back and 245/60/15 up front) This beauty sits right and drives tight

that is awesome you found a 69 down there ! we never see those pop up down south, is that where you got it? i use to live in pueblo and few years ago. i used run around in a 71 R/T primer gray with rallyes. i dont have that one anymore , unfortunately.

Ya my dad bought it about 15 years ago in the bessemer part of town. I think he said he payed 24 hundred for it. I'm tryin to fix her up with slim knowledge and not a great amount of cash. This forum has been a real help as of yet

That's a nice charger. Most of us here are building our cars on a budget too. If you go with the magnum 500 rims, I think somebody here was looking for the hubcaps you have on your car. If you were thinking of selling them.

Thank you and thanks for the advice! I would definitely sell them. I don't think they are correct for my year anyway and I would be afraid they would pop off the way my car handles around corners, Much Iike the charger on bullet Haha! How would I go about finding the person looking for these hubcaps? Just search forums?
Sorry I'm such a noob, not too experienced in the forum area :/
