I know this is probable a stupid question. I had a 72 Challenger I was restoring then sold it and bought a Charger. I had bought a set of 15" Torque Thrust II wheels and BF Googrich T/A's for the Challenger. I had never installed them and kept them when I sold the car. They are brand new. I never really thought about it until now but will they fit my 68 Charger?  I sure hope so. I have been holding onto them for no reason if they won't. The car is off in the body shop now. I have no way of testing them until I get it back.

Bolt pattern should be the same the Backspace may depend.  Do you know what they are for Back space.

No I don't. When I bought them I just specified what they were going on. It's been about three years now since I bought them online. I can't even remember where I got them. It was a Dealer in Va I think. I guess I will just have to try them when I get my car back. If I ever get my car back.

measure the backspace and report back.

Lay the rim face down(outside on the ground) measure from the back side of the bolt pattern and Tee off the back side of the wheel (inner tire mount area of the rim).   This will be your back space.

I hope you can understand that.

That sounds easy enough. I will check in the morning.
