    15 x 8 rally wheels for my 70 Challenger
    « on: November 09, 2005 - 07:28:34 PM »
    I ran across a guy today with a fair amount of Mopar parts.   He has (2)  15 by 8 stock wheels with no center caps that will fit.     He wants $50 each.    These wheels have a fair amount of offset to them.     Does anyone run 15s in the rear and 14s on the front.    The only reason I am thinking of using 15s on the rear and/or front is that tires are easier to find and I want to put a little taller and wider tire in the rear fenderwheels.........    I am wishy washy on this.     Anyone have feedback on these larger 15 by 8 rally wheels??       I would think $50 is very reasonable and he has sandblasted them.

    Sounds like a good deal to me mate.
    I run 15x8" Stock Rallye wheels with 275/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tyres.
    The fit is superb, doesn't have that mad max looking buldge out the side etc........ (ack smiley)

    You can easily fit 275's on yours if you decide to go with them, only problem is no one makes 8" trim rings so you'll have to use the stock 7" rings which leaves about a 1" gap, which you can hardly spot unless up close even then it looks fine.
    I am using 15x7" up front with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tyres 245/60 in size.

    Grab 'em I say!


    Cheers,
    Carl

    the stock offset was nomally centered so it should have 3 7/8 " backspace
