what is the widest wheel that will fit under my 69

[drifter69]

Looking to buy new wheels and want to put a nice fat tire under the back, will 10's fit with no axel mod's.

[terrible one]

Yep, just make sure you have 5" or 5.5" backspacing.

[drifter69]

Thanks, looks like they need to be custom built, unless some one knows where to buy them off the shelf. I am looking at torque thrust 2's.

[terrible one]

Hmm I'm not sure about the sizing available off the shelf on the TTII's but there are quite a few that come in the right sizing. IF you want to look at/play with the backspacing thing a bit more check out this site! I really need to remember who made it (he is a member here) so that I can give credit but I can't for the life of me!

Lotsa modern cars & trucks have the farther backspacing.  It's a source of factory stock wheel options, and a place to look for aftermarket stuff being made to fit. 

Anything being made for a 1980s Mustang or Dodge Dakota, lots of Jeep Cherokees & Wranglers, maybe the Ranger pickups too, might work.  They're 5-on-4.5" bolt patterns and RWD platforms.

I can tell you from personal experience that Jeep Cherokee wheels have absolutely zilch for backspace. I put the ten-spokes from my 91 Cherokee on the Charger just to see what would happen. They look ridiculous and make the car appear as though it would tip over going around a corner. There is almost the effect of a Charger body sitting on a Dart Chassis. As an aside, most 80's Mustangs used a four lug wheel. Good luck getting that on a Charger... haha!

   Hi i have 8" x 15" 235/60/15" front with a 4" 1/2 back space and i have 10" x 15" 275/60 15" on the rear with a 5" 1/2 back space, There is no axle issue or tyre rubbing issues But 275/60s is the biggest but you may try 295/50s and have a look

295 works fine with me, but I do have new springs,shocks and rear sway bar.

Bigger is DEFINITELY better!   

I got the BFGoodrich 295/50, cause the were the only option with RWL, or else I would have gone with 295/60.
15x10 wheels with 5" BS.

Paul w  - DUDE! That Charger is beautiful! 

Thank you so much   I get a bit of stick for painting it B3 they all seem to like B5 But i love it as it is quiet hard to find another, There is one more over here B3 white on white and a Plymouth roadrunner and that is sweeeet   The other thing is the wheels again i love the look but most others say i should go Torque Thrust D or other Chrome things,I do like Magmun 500s in 8" & 10",But there has been issues with the chrome finish on some and that's not good when you live in the UK.So if anyone can give me the name of a real good Magnum 500 dealer i my get a set.   Thank you again PaulW.

Just remember the 295, 335 number is the width.

Interesting, according to that site I should be able to fit the 295/50/15's on my 15x8.5 American Racing Vectors

If I am wrong, please correct me...

If the backspace is right, there should be no problems.

Looking to buy new wheels and want to put a nice fat tire under the back, will 10's fit with no axel mod's.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My superbird has 10 in wide x 17 high centerline rims now. but theres still room in the back for wider . I believe that the 11.5 wide rims would fit if the xtra 1.5 inches went tward the leaf springs. they discontinued the rims before I got back to getting them. you can fit a lotta meat under those b bodys without rubbing. you will hit the inner wheelhouse if you go over a big bump but not the outter lip and cause a groove in the sidewall of your tire . so be sure to have some stiff shocks.   thanks  Tom
