I would like to upgrade from the factory 14 inch magnum rims on my 69 Roadrunner to 15 inch magnum rims. What size rim can be used in the rear and the front? Also what size tires for front and rear? Will a 275/60r15 fit on the rear? Pics would be great.

My 70 coronet fits a 275/60/r15 tire with no problems on an 8" wide wheel, should be very similar to a RR. I would say either 15x6 or 15x7 for a wheel on the front with a 225/70/r15.

I could get you a pic tomorrow of what the coronet looks like.

Well, I have had Plymouth Road Runners and Dodge Super Bee's and the Dodges have a larger rear wheel well so you can get a larger tire on them the Plymouths ...a 15 x 8 works good with a 275/60 15...and I have used 15 x 7's on the front with 245/60 15 tires with no problem.

Coronets have much larger wheelwells than the Plymouth B bodies do as stated so your example doesn't really answer his question.

True, it would've helped if I included more information in my original post. Such as the links provided, that might give you an idea.

Thanks to everyone that responded to this question. Looks like I will go with the 15x8 for the rear with a 275/60/r15 and a 15x7 for the front with a 235/60/r15.

Do the P235/60/r15 rub when cranking the wheel all the way and if you load the trunk will the rear 275/60/r15 rub.

No,they do not rub,thats what everyone is running.Its best to buy everything through summit.The front will be hard to find right now if your going with ta radials as stated.The summit shipping used to be just a 1 time oversize charge when I got mine but were cheapest by far.

I went with 275/60 on 15x8's in the rear and 225/70 on 15x7's up front which fills the well nicely on my 70 RR.
