Need advice on backup wheels/tires for HEMI Charger...

[bzabodyn]

Well, I'm nowhere near the point in the resto where I should be worrying about what wheels/tires are going to be on the car, but the bodywork is coming along nicely and who knows when we'll be ready for paint - so what I'm wanting to do is purchase a set of repro steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps to simulate the originals as well as a set of radial redlines for driving duties to keep miles/wear off the original wheels/repro redlines (save for shows)...

Soooo... where do I get these? Coker, Stockton?  What tire sizes? I'm looking at 15x7 front and 15x8 rear wheel sizes...

Thanks for the help!

Too funny - I could put some custom 22" steelies on it and have 15" dog dishes inside them - ballin'!!!



...not really.  So, any (real) help?!?!

Specialty Wheels has the steel wheels if I remember correctly

DiamondBack Classics is where I got my radial redlines

B/E & A has the dog dish caps

Thanks Chris - I think I want to run a 235 front and a 255 rear, but what aspect ratio should I go with? 60's seem like they are a bit too small, but 70's are about an inch taller (compared to F70-15's)...

I love the B/E&A dog dish hubcaps, but for $325/set, I'm going to see what I can scrounge off EBay first...

FWIW I have 15 X7's with 255/60/15 on all 4 corners & it fills up the wheel wells nicely

...and they look awesome, Chris!  I've also talked to a couple other members through PM and I think I'm going to go with the 15x7, 255/60 all around combo...

thank you so much!!!
