Im sure this question has been asked a million times so i guess that makes me one million and one , i have just purchased a 68 charger running standard 14" magnum 500's. I want to beef it up a bit and am considering 15x 8 rims for the front ( with 235x60x15 tyres ) and 15x 10 rims for the back ( with 275x60x15 tyres ) i cant measure the offset as the car is in the United States and i am on the other side of the world ( and freight prices are a killer so i want to put them on before it is shipped , rear end is 355-1  ..8 3/4 if that makes any difference , ive read quite a few threads but i need to be more specific for my car what/is there a "standard bolt on offset without having to make changes etc ? , any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks .

All the 15x10s I've seen on the back of Chargers were either 4.5" or 5" offset. I think either will work but I couldn't tell you if one works better than the other. Also, a 275 will fit on a 15x8. I don't know if you have seen a Charger (and I assume we're talking 2nd gen here) with the 15x10 Magnums but I don't really like the look of them. Too much wheel sticking out past center IMO.

I agree with Bull.  I thought about it and decided to use 275'60/15's on 15x8 and 15x7 on the front with a little smaller tire.  I have seen some around here with a 15x10 and 295/50/15 tires.  It is just a little TOO much for my tastes.  PM me an email address and I can email you a pic of my 69.

No. Original owners restored it and brought it to a local car show back in May. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,29082.0.html
