Any idea what size wheels and tires these are?

[INTMD8]

I've seen a few photos of this car online and it appears to be running the same size wheels are tires front/rear.

They kind of look like 10" wheels to me but would those even fit up front? Anyone know what these are? Thanks!

Is there supposed to be a link or pics?? 

[INTMD8]

Pics aren't showing for you?

I found the cars owner and messaged him on Flickr

My guess on the wheels: 15x8,5 front and rear.

My guess on the wheels: 15x8,5 front and rear.

15x8 or 8.5.  Just deep dish by negative offset/less backspacing.   The rear do not appear wide enough to be 10's and the tire has a bulge to it, that wouldn't be there with a narrow tire on a 10" rim.

Yes I'm thinking you guys are right, thanks.

Cragars and Chargers are the perfect match.

Those only have 2.5 backspacing.  If you're planning on them I would look for something with 4.5 backspace, according to a lot of info on this site.  You might end up with a tire that hits the edge of the fender.  

This thread probably has more than you want to know....

Green 69rt, I will check out the link thanks.

Yes the ones I linked only have 2.5in backspace but don't you think that's what is pictured on the car I posted?

I don't think they would have that much lip on an 8in wheel with 4-4.5in backspace

It's hard to tell from a picture.  Also if the car is a trailer queen the backspace doesn't matter as much.   A daily driver needs more clearance.  If there is a way to test the clearance before you drive then that's the best case.  Otherwise, you have to go on what others advise and their experience.    It's a hard call, what are your desires??

I would like to hear what answer you get from the owner.

15x8 with 3.75" BS and 275/60 are my guess

editing... but I think 255/60 in front, diameter ( and bubble ) seems to be A BIT smaller.

[INTMD8]

Ok I got a response and I am very surprised. Much smaller than I thought-


"The wheels are 14 x 8 in back and 14 x 7 in front, full reverse offset. The tires are P245/60R14's in back and P225/60R14's in front."

Ok I was kinda not that bad on proportions between front and back LOL

I don'st know what "full reverse offset" means.  

Small wheels and tires may make it possible to work, without the big backspacing.  Can't have much in the way of brakes, maybe just drums all around...

I've seen this car on the net for a few years now and it is smoking! I also am not well versed in backspacing or full reverse. Would I be able to put the 15'x8" on the rear and the 15"x7" on the front of my '69 without any other modifications?

I plan on 15"x8" all around with 4.5" BS.  Probably run a 235/60R15 all around, maybe a 245 if I get brave.  Just got my wheels and tried just one on the front (no tire)  Everything clears so far.

Thanks Green, I think I'm going to do the same thing. It should look smoking!
