Wheel curious

[troublemaker]

Looking for any help ! I'm going from stock 14" wheels on a 1970 Road Runner to 15" wheels. I have an opportunity to pick up 4 15x8. This is a stock body. Has anybody done this? Will they fit?

Sorry guys the wheels have a 4" back space, that's where I'm concerned. The lug pattern is 5 by 4.5 which should work fine

Assuming the wheelwell is basically the same size, I have 17x8's up front with a 4.5" backspace on my Charger and they fit perfect. So depending on how they look you might want to use some 1/2" hubcentric spacers. Think they would work fine though

should fit fine...

what size tire will be used ??........................................................................................................... front & rear 275/60/15 should fit OK on the rear & a 225-245/60/15 on the front with out rubbing problems, for the "forward rake look"

Thank you gentlemen, exactly the feed back I was looking for. Started this project when my son was in junior high. He graduated college 2 years ago and I'm finishing. Who knew it could be so much fun!

Just remember used wheels are like old hookers. Everyone has riden them and they are full of bumps. Check the wheels by spinning them on a balancer. If straight ok. Back spacing is everything.
