I am new here, from Luxembourg Europe

[Mopar_Manu]

Hi at all,

i am a new member.

My name is Manu, 45 years old and i am from Luxembourg Europe, Luxembourg is near Germany. I am sorry for my bad english, but i need help, and i don't find it in my country.

My car is a 69' Charger R/T SE. I bought it from a dealer in Holland an the car was imported from California. The Charger is not perfect, but not so bad to

I am looking for rims like American Racing (Torq Thrust) and i can't find wich exactly sizes will fit my car. I want to put 20" on it on the rear and 18" on the front. Wich Backspace do i need an wich Offset. I don't know anything about the fitment of this kind of wheels. I will not pay expensive for wheels they not will fit my car, because i ordered them in the wrong size. Could someone help me please to find my dream wheels.

I tried to find a topic for members like introduce myself" but i didn't find it. Please move it if i am wrong here. Thanks

Best regards

Manu

welcome to the site.

I think the big wheel look can work on a classic charger, but it really has to be the right wheel design and the fit has to be perfect for them to look good.

welcome to the site! cannot wait to see pics of your baby (aka charger).

Manu,

Welcome to the site.  My sizes were very similar to yours.  I ordered 17" for the front and 18" for the rear, and the sizes worked perfect.

Front- 17X8 with 4.5" backspace

Rear- 18X10 with 5.5" backspace

That combination worked well for me.

Best of Luck.

Tim

The build sheet and the Charger are now in Luxembourg, far away from US  but i still looking for nice rims 

[FlatbackFanatic]

Welcome to the site!!! Nice looking ride you have there!! Can't wait to see it when you find some new rims.

[Mopar_Manu]

Hi

a question, does this guide http://vexer.com/68rt/old_outdated_badly_coded_old_old_old_wheelguide.html work for rear and front wheels??

[mikepmcs]

Looks like it's just for the rear wheels.

[Mopar_Manu]

  that's not so good. Does anything similar exist for the front?

[hemi68charger]

Nice lookin' '69 there Manu... Great little country you have there.. Drove through Luxembourg once by way of the capitol.. Beautiful.......   

Welcome

[Mopar_Manu]

Hi hemi68charger

you know Luxembourg  That's great. How you say, it's a very small country  with only 4 registered Chargers until 1968 - 1970.  and one is mine

[4cruzin]

Thats a really nice Charger!  Very cool!   

[Khyron]
