15x8 wheels 4" or 4.5" Backspace ?

[crj1968]

Hey- I am looking to order these for the rear of my 70'

http://www.jegs.com/p/Wheel-Vintiques/Wheel-Vintiques-63-Series-OE-Chrysler-Black-Wheels/1533871/10002/-1

They offer the 15 x 8 in a 4" or  4.5 Backspace.  I am thinking of running 275/60's  

Any issues with either backspacing?   Thanks!

Both sizes will work, but the 4.5 backspacing give you a lot more breathing room!

Thanks man. I like the look of the tire being closer to the body, as besides a direct view from the back it looks like a lot of tire is tucked in there.

I figured either would work OK- this is the first Charger I've messed with, I'm used to A-bodies where every 1/2 " counts.

Nice wheel choice! That's what I want to go with as well. My current wheels are 15x8 w/ 4inch backspacing for front and back. With that backspacing it's right in the middle of the wheel well in the rear. 4" would be my recommendation.

Thanks man- what size are the rear tires on your 68 now?

[ikbrown]

In that picture the tires are 235/60/15s. I've since bought 245/60/15s that are on my rear wheels now. Once I get wider rear wheels, I'll move the 245s to the front.
