Help with 69 R/T standard spec wheels/tyres?

Hi, this is my first post here - Unfortunately I can't afford a real one (I live in the UK where decent 69's cost £20k), so I am building a 3d computer model of a 1969 Charger R/T. I have great reference photos for most of it, but I am struggling with getting decent pictures of standard spec wheels (I want my model to be 100% factory stock). Does anyone have photos of the correct factory fitted wheels for a 1969 Charger 440 R/T? Ideally I need photos from all angles and also 'face on' so I can 'trace' the shape of the wheel in 3d. I also need photos of the correct tyres (and tread) that would have been fitted to the car when it was brand new. Can you help? Thanks!

Welcome to the site!

I just purchased a repro Good Year Polyglas Custom Wide Tread tire for my spare.   This would have been a tire style on the 69 R/T (could have also come with whitewalls)

Hope these help

@ Just 6T9_CHGR.... - Thanks man! Those pics are really useful to me and it's great to have the name of the correct tyre too. I'm working on the trunk area right now so the shot of the spare fitted in place is just perfect. All I need now are some good pics of the hubcaps I guess. Thanks again!

Here are some pics of my hubcaps. I hope they are clear enough. The first 2 are the optional W15 deep dish caps. The last pic is a W11 hubcap.

@694spdRT - thanks, those are great photos. You've been very helpful :icon_smile_big: I really like those wheel trims and they'll be great fun to model in 3d.
I'd also like to find decent pics of this style too if possible:
