New wheel/tire combo

[DownZero]

Getting ready to order a set of wheels and tires. Before I lay out a bunch of dough I just want to be sure they will fit without any issues. Subject vehicle is a 69 charger, stock suspension, front disc brakes.
Crager 61c - 15x7 - 5x4.5 bc - 4" backspace - 3.5 center bore - 0 offset.  P235/60/15
Crager 61c - 15x8 - 5x4.5 bc - 4.25 backspace - 3.5 center bore - -6 offset  P275/60/15

Any issues?

Yeah. The 1970s called. 15" wheels.....?

Arguing taste in wheels is like arguing politics but the OP has excellent taste in wheels. 

[Kern Dog]

I agree to a point.

sorry no one answered this yet, I will try. Have this exact wheel and tire combo on my charger now but on Magnum 500s with slightly different back spacing. My backspacing is 4.25 on the 15x7s and 4.5" on the 15x8s. I measured the back wheels and there is 1.5" clearance on the inside and 2" to the inner wheel lip on the outside. So it seems like these should fit. The center bore appears to be about 1 7/8". Hope this helps.

Ordered, received, and installed. They look and fit great. I would post some pics but its a bear to do on this site. I got the wheels and tires from Summit. Just in case anyone was curious, the tires were dated November and December 2019.

If you want, I can upload the pics for you, not like I have anything better to do these days........ My email address is there when you click my profile.

If you get the pics on your computer, and have a PC, you can use a snipping tool to snip them.  When you save them they will be an OK size and resolution.  I save with some letters and the date and it doesn't usually have that name already taken.

I'd love to see the car with the wheels.  Locked up anyway.

That's the way a Charger should look.

I don't care what wheel you choose. There are a lot of nice ones. Just so they don't look like old manure spreader wheels with chrome. Like 22. I have a hard time when they get that big.

Can't go wrong with that combo, very nice.

[HeavyFuel]

Good choice....looks great.

That's beautiful!  Is that T7 Dark Bronze?

[HPP]

Yeah. The 1970s called. 15" wheels.....? 

Saw a blurb somewhere that said Nascar will be going to 18" wheels and tires in 2021. Single center lug, aluminum no less.

I guess he could always buy directionals 🤔

Correct, T7.  I like old school style. 17,18, and 20s are good for some people it's just not my style.

Just in case anyone is interested, My 1968 Charger R/T came with F70-14 Polyglass tires.
I still Have the spare tire that has never been mounted.
