wheel vintiques 56 series chrysler rallye backspacing
« on: March 15, 2016 - 09:23:20 AM »
all,

been trying to find correct wheels  I found :
56 SERIES CHRYSLER RALLYE SILVER by WHEEL VINTIQUES 15x7
Part # 56-5712044 per  https://secure.performanceplustire.com/sc/

all seems identical to what Yearone sells but at about 1/2 price and back spacing is 4.25 instead of 4.5

would this difference in back spacing cause any issues with everything suspension wise stock on a 71 cuda?

plan to put E60/15 GOODYEAR tires on them

thanks

You should be fine with suspension clearance since you will be 1/4" closer to the fender.  You are also not exactly putting on monster size tires, so you should clear all the way around.  I bought my wheels and tires a couple of months ago from these guys and they are good to deal with, but I always like to call in and talk to someone when ordered.  I am ordering a new set of wheels and tires for my '68 Charger too.  Christian is the guy who I'm working with.

alright,
I found same wheels with a back space of 4.5 "same as original" (I'm told),
but they are 8 inches in width not 7,
can these tires be mounted on these wheels?

if these tires can be mounted on these wheels correctly, I think ill go that route!
(plus I would think a wider wheel wont allow the tire to look so balloon like as they might on the 7 inch wheel.)

thank you

I'm running these same wheels on my 73 Barracuda, 15x7 on front & 15x8 on back.  Tires are BFG TA's 245/60-15 front & 275/60-15 on back.  zero rubbing on either end.  Hope this helps.
