295's On 15 x 10

[JMF]

Please could someone post some pics of 295/50/15's on 15 x 10

Thinking of changing from 15 x 8 to 15 x 10, worth it ?

Thanks

I think it's worth it. Those fat wide Charger quarters are screaming for fat wheels and tires.
295/50/15's on 15x10's look great under any Charger!  
Here is mine:

Heres my old setup. 15 x 10 with 5.5 inch backspacing on 295 50 15.

[70ChargerX2]

Love the stance on the ground as well as on the trailer and my favorite year too !

Hmmmm    Nice neat clean garage just like mine only huge difference is you are smart enough to still have your Charger unlike dumb ass me. 

Beautiful car ..... Keep It !!!!

Do you have any rubbing issues with the rear tires? I just put the same set up as yours on mine but havent driven it yet. Just from looking at mine i can tell the back tires are going to rub the rear quarter panels. 

[Lennard]

Only with four or more people in it going through a sharp corner they will rub.

What is the bs on the rear wheels?

I don't see any bull shit...  



I don't know what the back spacing on these wheels is. I bought the wheels, put tires on them and bolted them on the car.

295-50-15,, 15x10, 5in back space

[bull]

That's just what I was going to ask. Bill and Lennard, are yours 5" backspace too?

[tcs69rt]

Gives you a 13" wide tire, 5" back spacing.

[bill440rt]

Yep.
15x10" Centerlines with a 5" backspace.

Is it just me, but I dont see alot of wheels available being 10" wide. If they are, the come in a ridiculous backspacing size like 3.5.

I happen to like the American Racing torq thrust wheels with the grey centers alot but they only go upto 8.5" wide.
Can one put a 295 onto those?

[Lennard]

Yes but the side wall will bulge more. 295s will look and perform best if mounted on 10" wide wheels.

Sometimes you need to custom order wheels in the backspacing you require.   It was $25 / wheel from Summit when I ordered 15x10 Cragars...  probably more now.

[JesseJames78]

I have 295's on mine 

[charge69]

I was also having a hard time finding 10" wide wheels with the proper backspacing and I just didn't want to deal with the possibility of rubbing on the wheel well so,  I just went with a "no-hassle" 8" rim with 4" backspacing and a 275/60/15 tire. No traction problems yet (I do not drive if there is any possibility of rain) and they look plenty wide enough to me. 

[cdr]

I love that 69 !!!!

[DixieRestoParts]

Me too !!

I've run 275's and 295's. I like them both. But always ran on a 7" or 8" wheel, never a 10. I like the shots of cars with 10's. Is there any advantage with going to 10's? It's hard to hook my 440 4-spd even with the 295's on 8's.

[charge69]

Thanks Charlie !  That makes 2 of us !  Ha !   I do have a set of repro redline tires (F70-15) on the original rims stashed away and they look pretty skinny to me.  Here is a picture of them on the Charger from the side so you cannot really tell how wide they are but, trust me, they look skinny ! The original F70-15's are about an inch shorter but, no real difference on the road to me driving the bias-ply F-70's or the new radials! Probably because I learned to drive and drove for years on bias-ply tires.

[Lennard]

In my opinion, 295/50-15s on 15x10s is the best looking combo for the rear of any Charger.

[charge69]

To the OP: sorry for the slight hijack.

Just check BOTH sides of your rear to make sure what back spacing will clear your leaf springs. You should be fine with 5" back spacing and, maybe, even 5 1/2" but I would measure to be sure if going that much.  If you aren't going to haul heavy loads in the trunk or load up the back seat with riders, you should not have any wheel well rubbing problems either.

Take the time to measure then find your wheel of choice and they shouldn't be a problem.  Good luck!

[Patronus]

5" bs:
and they rub when I turn tight. I think 5.5" would be best, then shim 1/4"

Hi guys, I would have a possibility to get some 15x10 rims with an ET -44. Took me pretty long to understand how to reference that to the American backspace and offset numbers but I believe the rim has 4 inches backspace. In other words the guy said he measured from where the wheel hub to the back lip and got 10cm which is 4 inches. From same location to front lip there was 17cm which is 6 inches. The whole rim is 10 wide so it even makes sense! :O But what do you guys think is there any way these would fit under the Charger?

[elWray]

And thanks for the answer!

15x10 4 in back space will not fit on a 68-70 charger, but from the way you describe the wheel you have that would be a 9in wheel, so it should fit.

4" of backspace will hit the quarter panel for sure.

4" of backspace will hit the springs for sure.  You will need to shim it out about an inch to be closer to 5" backspace and add 3" studs to be safe for the wheel to mount to.

4 in bs is further from the spring than 5

You are right, I was thinking the opposite but they still won't fit.

why wont they fit  ??, my 15x10 is 5in bs  from mounting hub to outside lip is 6 in, to inside is 5 ,,, his is 6 out & 4 on the inside  should fit just fine. his is 9 in wide

He said they were 15x10's and with 4" bs they would not fit.  If they truly are only 15x9s he should be ok.

very true IF it is a 9 in wheel, he said it is 10 total so subtract about .5 from each side.

So 5.5" BS or 5"

i just put 325-50-15 on my car.  my wheels are 15x10 with 5 bs, had to bend the outer wheel well lip, when turning into my drive way it is very steep, the tire rubs on the Inner wheel well, if it was 5.5 bs it would be real bad.  every car is a little different so it is important to measure everything first.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Looks so sinister! Thx CDR
