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!

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 (8mm) to make it perfect.

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.
