3rd gen charger, 15x8 wheels... 4" or 4.75" backspacing?

[russg]

1st post and looking forward to good times with my new to me 73 charger with a 383.

I have decided on a Cragar black D window 15X8 wheel and it's available in either 4" or 4.75" backspace.  Which would be best?
Thanks!

Hey did you ever get those wheels?

[russg]

Yep, they are on the car in the picture, 4.75 backspace

Do you have a good pict of them up close? I was going order up a set of crager SS' and want the maximum "deep dish" possible

Here you go, you could get a pretty good size lip depending on the design of the wheel, this wheel has more of a stepped design so kinda takes away from having a real deep look I guess.

Thanks!  Any clearance issues?

Back has room for more tire, front rubbed slightly on the big inner fender braces but hammered on em gently and don't rub any more... note I have 255 tires all the way around, if you went to a 245 tire, you probably wouldn't have any issues.

What do think of the Firestones?

[russg]

They seem to wear very well.. a year of aggressive driving, tire spinning ect and don't show much wear, also reasonably priced

Tire rack rated the Firestones better the the BFG TA's . Did you have BFG's on it before by chance?

I had a set of those on my work car a few years back. Great tire! They are on my todo list for my 72 at some point in the future.
