Your thoughts?? Looking for a nostalgic look

[jessejames]

Ok guys... Finishing up my T7 69 Charger R/T and looking for that late 60's early 70's look. MY dads was F8 Green with deep dish chrome reverse wheels on the backs and skinny steel black wheels in the front. Really think the car will look good with this combo. I want to go with the deep chrome dish look in the back. MY question is... Probably have to go with a 10" wheel in the back. Has anyone ran that big of a wheel? I run a 8.5 on my other chargers. And if so what kind of tire are you running? I might have to add some height to the back of this car for this look as well. Planning on going with a F70-15 for the fronts. Any thoughts? Or pictures of your car with tire sizes and rims sizes would be great!!! Or if anyone has any thoughts on another rim combo... I'm all ears.
Thanks!!

This is the look my car has had since 1983.  I will go back with this look.  14" 50 series tires in the front, 15" 50 series tire in the rear.  I'll have to take measurements on the wheels this weekend if you need that info.

I absolutely love this car!! Color combo plus a 4 speed!! Doesn't get any better! Thanks Lee!!

On a lot of examples where folks run "big meats" in the rear they have to jack up the suspension to clear the tires; not to my taste, tires should fit in the wheel well. Besides, with the sidewalls extending past the fenders what happens when you hit a really big bump? Chances are the fender lip will hit the sidewall.

Or that other favorite, where they just barely fit in and you hit a bump.  The torn up sidewall look is not good either.

I change mine out every couple of years between Cragar's & Rallye's with 295's in the rear on both sets with no air shocks or jacked up suspension.

I just shortened the rear axle 2 inches on each side to make my 15x10 with 295/50-15 Vectors fit.  My car is lowered, so they needed to fit IN the wheel wells.
