Got WIDE rims! Need tire size suggestions!

[Wicked72]

Just picked up set of wheel vintiques 15x10 5 1/2" back space. going on my 72 charger. the total width of the rim ends up 11"  at the lips so i end up with 1" between the rim and the leafs and about 1/4" at the fender so im planing to trim the fender about 1/4" giving me a full 1/2". As far as the front i have 15x7 4" back space but i think i may get 15x8 instead not sure on back space. what would you recommend on tire sizes i likem wide. Im thinking 275 60 and 255 60  or 295 50 and 245 60. ill be doing a mini tub and lowering the car slightly so not sure on rubbing issues especially up front. thanks!

If you bought WV mag 500's the black paint between the spokes will
flake off........sooner rather than later.

I got the chrysler oe rims. I see the paint is crap on them. I got the rims cheap at carlisle and one was left out in the rain and has some rust on it already so I plan on media blasting and painting them.

As for the front of my car and the plan to lower it what would you recommend for a good rim width, back space and tire size? I want a wide tire up front.

15x8, 4.75 back space, 255 width tire. Should fit with no problems in a '72.

However, to get 4.75 back space you will likely need to pick up a 5" back space and use a .25" spacer, or find a 4.5" backspace. However, tire fitment is going to be close to fender lips depending on your final ride height.

With a 15x10 on the back, I'd go 295/50 or 325/50. Shouldn't have to mini-tub anything.
