15x10x5.5bs 74cuda
« on: January 01, 2007 - 08:13:47 PM »
 I came across a set of 15x10x5.5bs weld pro stars.  Ive searched and found conflicting answers. What are the chances of these fitting on a 74 cuda with stock 8 3/4 and dr. diffs 1'' offset.  They will be wrapped in 275-60-15 radial t/a's. Now i now 10'' wheels are not nessesary for a tire this of size but id hate to pass this deal up. Thanks all in advance for the input. This sites knowledge is amazing.

Have you looked here yet?   You might find your answer in this sticky thread about tire and wheel combos on the "E" bods...

I have and thats where i found my conflicting information. Most guys i see are running 15x8x4.5bs on a 275-60-15.  There was one post where a member orderded 15x10x5.5bs chrysler ralleys with 275-60. He was planning to put them on his stock rear suspesnsion e-body. I have been unable to contact him to see how it all turned out. I love the look of a 10'' wheel tho. Thanks for your help.

You will need to roll the fender lip or jack up the back end a little. That is a zero offset rim, so the 275 radial t/a is 11" wide and 5.5" from the brake drum in and out. With 5.5" front space, it may just fit, depends on how low you have it, and how wide the lip on the fender is.

I trial fitted a 15x10" 5.5"-BS wheel with 275/60/15's to my 73 'Cuda on a stock 8-3/4" rear and it just fit. Clearance of the lip was close but I wouldn't hinder it as dangerous. The clearance to the leafs were about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.
