Offset / backspacing ?????????

My 69 charger is ready for paint and I am looking for some cheap rollers.  I put the big rotors on the front and wonder if I will have any offset issues with these jeep wheels on my local Craigslist.

I do know that they are the correct bolt pattern.  Thanks for any advice.

11 3/4 rotors? Get 15" rims off 80's New Yorker or anything in that "use to be cop cars" size 4 dr. they are cheap and fit nice, I have them on my 70 Charger. (No Jeep!)

 They likely are 15x7, but I'd be willing to bet that 5" of that is offset in the wrong direction. The bolt pattern might match, but if they are offset more that 4.75 inches to the positive side, they will hit the upper ball joint and the leaf spring. Check them carefully or you will be adding spacers and possibly changing wheel studs. If that happens, then your $125 budget wheel set will suddenly cost you $250 or more.

I agree the back spacing is probably to much.  I will just keep looking for some junk rollers.

B M and R body all fit Aspen, St. Regis, Volare, Diplomat ect. Should be dirt cheap at any bone yard.  :2thumbs:

Get some Ford steelies, they fit and are everywhere.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

     what he said,    You would have a serious backspace problem with those and I don't know what the bolt pattern is.
