Bought this car on this site and it has a 5.7 hemi and had general lee vectors on it and I like them but I wanted more tuff look. I went with 15x7 up front and 15x8 rear police wheels with 4" offset. I wanted 15x10 but was told the 5.5" backspacing with 295s would be to much.. BF Goodrich has come back out with the 295/50/15 and I went ahead and got a set. I wish now I would have gotten white letters to the outside tho.. :brickwall: The tire guy said bring it back and it would be free. Let me know what ya think.

Very nice . The dog dish caps are cool . When I mounted my tires , my boss who is totally against white letter tires said " you gotta mount them white letter out " .  He said it just looks right on a muscle car .

Looks awesome, but I say leave the tires blackwall out.
Focus should be on the wheels and car, not the tire sidewall.

I would leave black wall out.  But I'm partial because I don't like white letters on anything.  :Twocents:   :coolgleamA:

I am biased but ................ leave them black wall out as it just looks right that way!

P.S.  These are 275/60/15 Nitto Extreme Drag Radials on an 8" wide Cragar. They only come black wall and that is what I wanted anyway!

Ya I am torn. I do think the black side looks mean. I have always wanted the steel wheel look and a lot of people don't care for it but I have just always been a fan. Especially looking around on here. Everyone at the tire shop said it looks like a moonshine car.. lol

Looks great! Not much of a Vector fan, anyway.  :2thumbs:

Try taking a wheel off and just turn it around in the fender. Don't even have to bolt it on, just place it in the opening. It will at least give you an idea of what it would look like.  :Twocents:

X2. White letters on anything is like a super model with a zit on the end of her nose.
Car looks great!

I like the RWL's out on most cars as well BUT the blackwall looks right at home on your car :thumbs:

Car just screams meanness!!  Wouldn't change anything :2thumbs:

BFG RWL look good - everything else looks nasty to me
[ŌŌ]ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ[ŌŌ] = 68
[ŌŌ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ŌŌ] = 69
(ŌŌ)[ƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗ](ŌŌ) = 70

I would put the white letters out normally but your car has that moonshine runner look to it, I think the blackwalls fit the rest of the look.

What size tire do you have on the front ?

Nice car! I say RWL out but I'm partial to them. Plus BFG radial T/A are the best RWL out there!

I'm a White Letter fan, but in your case I'd leave it as is.
Yours is the exact look I'll go for when I get a '69.
Looks like trouble.  :2thumbs:

Front tire I am pretty sure a 245. So far no rubbing issues.
