Charger 69 wheels

[drrlegion]

Hello,
I have a 1969 Charger and I´d like to install Magnum 500 wheels.
Does somebody know which are the right sizes for Magnum wheels and Bf Goodrich Radial TA tires matching?
What is the right bolt size?
I´m thinking whether the combination 15x7 Magnum 500 with 225/60R15 could be right.

Thanks for your help.

Bolt pattern is 5x4.5 bolts are 1/2-20.

There are many combinations regarding tires and rims.  225 on a 7" wide rim will work fine.  You can run up to a 255 on a 7" rim easily.  It all depends on the look you are after so I suggest you browse this site and find some Chargers with the look you are after.  That way you don't have to guess.

good luck!

Thank you very much for your help, Dino!

Two more questions:
Using the 225/60R15, is it possible to use a 15x6 instead of a 15x7 Wheel?
Regarding "backspacing", what is that measure? Is 4.00 backspacing a measure that will work with my Charger?

Thanks again.

Yes a 6" wide rim will work but I wouldn't go more narrow on the rim or your tire will balloon a bit much.

This chart is a good guideline as well:

4" bs will work fine and so will a little less probably.  A 15x7 usually has 4" bs, a 15x8 will have 4.5".  a 15x6 will be 3.75" - 4".

I'd go 15x7 on the front and 15x8 on the back.
