specs/help needed on some TTO's for my 66 Charger

I'm restoring a 66 Dodge Charger and I'm leaning heavily towards American Racing's TTO Polished rims as my icing on the cake  :coolgleamA: I guess more importantly, is there a specific off-set or back spacing that's standard for a 15 x 10 wheel for the rear of a 66 Charger?  I plan on putting 15 x 7's on the front.  I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about this because I don't  :shruggy:  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  And if you have any suggestions on a better looking rim or something similar that I should look at, I'm all eyes  ::)   

Thanks...

Not sure what widths are available on the TTOs, but I was thinking 8.5 max. They are one piece castings and come with negative offset, which will create fitment issues at the limits.

Bottom line, I don't think you can make a 15x10 fit without really jacking up the rear. Really no good tires out there for 15x10s anymore anyhow.

In the TTO the best bet will be a 275-60-15 on a 15x8.5 wheel, and as previously mentioned, the negative offset will still make things tight (on the outboard side). You might even need to step down to a 255-60-15 on a 15x7.

If you want a good retro look with zero offset, you might check out these Cragars:
