    Hey ukneil,
     Did you get your AutoDrag III's back? If so, how do they fit? I ordered mine and I am just waiting for them. How long did it take to get yours after you ordered them?

    Do you think that 7inch wide rims with a 4 inch backspace would be fine on the front?

    Should be fine but a 4-1/2 fits better.

    Does anybody know if these rims would fit? Ebay number 330004331793. The tires would be 235 or 245/60 r15.

    Man Swedish, that is not good.  :eek7: :sly:
    One decent bump and your quarter panel is in the crap.

    I would definitely look at getting a better BS wheel combo. 4-1/2" works well with those tire sizes. Maybe a relocation kit but you definitely need to do something.....I wouldn't even drive the car with it sitting on the tires like that.

    Do you guys think this combo will work on a 73 challenger?

    American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels 15 x 8.5.

    The tires are Goodyear Eagle GTII fronts are 235/60-15 and rears are 275/60-15. In looking at the web site it appears the offset is -24 with a 3 3/4 BS.

    It seems a little tight on the outside rear fender.

    These are used and I should be able to make a good deal on them.   Please let me know your thoughts.

    I am about 98% done with the restoration. Go the 440 installed, and now working on the tires and wheels.

    :iagree:

    5 inches front spacing is too much on a stock E-body rearend

    1971 Challenger JH23, 318

    Stock 8-3/4 E-body rear

    Stock 1967-8 Mercury Cougar mag-style wheels (14x?, I think 6"), came with the car in 1979

    Front: BF Goodrich Belted T/A, E70-14
    Rear: BF Goodrich Belted T/A, G60-14

    No clearance problems at all (naturally).  No pics,
    tires have been on the car a _long_ time, as you can tell by the sizes...
