Steel wheels 1970 Charger

[6PKRTSE]

As I have mentioned in other posts before. I like to change my wheels around from car to car once in awhile. I have steelies, Rallyes, Cragars and Magnum 500 wheels for my 70' Chargers.

What tire size? =) Good lookin car!

 

[__Larsson____]

15x8 F, 15x10 R is on my 69, because it's a 69.
If I had a 70, I'd put the same size on it, but with the Rallye wheels.
Rallye wheels don't look right to me on a 69, only because I know they didn't come out in 69.

Looks amazing!!

Do you have issues with 295 on rear? I ask because in my 69 Charger (not RT), 275 on rear its really really near…

No issues.
I did add a 1/4” spacer, to make sure I don’t touch, when turning and the rear suspension has to articulate.

Ok, then you need to modificate the rear suspension

Im stock at all, then I think the 275 its the biggest that I can fit

Can you send me the rear susp articulate pics please?

They fit with stock suspension.

Articulate means "when the suspension moves" over bumps and things. @Shut , where is the tire close? Close to the fender, or close to the spring?
A 15x10 wheel with a 295 can fit, IF the backspace/offset is PERFECT. (and ride height isn't too low.) 69 RTSE used a 1/4" spacer (7mm) to make it perfect.

Thank you!!

Close to the fender, I can send a pic

Where is the 1/4” spacer in RTSE??

Between the drum and the rim.
And 8mm converts to 5/16"

Like all have said already, a 15x10 rim and 295/50 tire will fit on the back of your car with perfect backspacing. But you have to understand that every one of our cars are a bit different as far as whats needed for backspacing. I have had this same combo on many cars with bs between 5 1/8" to 5 1/2". I have done this with custom made wheels as well as wheel spacers. And many times you will need a different bs side to side to get them centered.

Oops, you're right.
Soooo, 7mm.

If it's too close to the fender, there's not much you can do, and your tire is probably as big as YOU can go with your rims.
The problem you have to go bigger is because the wheels you have don't have enough backspace (the distance from the inside edge of the wheel, to the mounting face. (Very typical of the slot mags from the old days).
If you had too much backspace (meaning the tire is too close to the spring), you could use a spacer between the wheel and the drum, to move the tire away a bit. That's what 69 rtse did.
