Are they really? I thought all OEM Mopar back spacing in the 60-early 70s was 4.25.

I thought the 15x8 Ramcharger and Super Coupe rims were 4.5" backspacing?

15 x 6 (H-wheels, '68 Hemi wheels) 4" backspacing

15 x 7 (450, Rallye, Cop wheels) 4.25" backspacing

15 x 8 (Ramcharger wheels) 4" backspacing

Wow, I didn't think Ramcharger rim were less backspacing than 15x7's.

What about 15x8 super coupe rims?

I never measured Super-Coupe wheels, but I would guess they have 4.25" backspacing.

Rick Ehrenburg did an article in Mopar Action years ago on factory rims and thier dimensions.

I'll see if I can dig it up.

I could have sworn I have that issue. But I found the same article in the Mopar Tech Special Issue #5

I doesn't list backspacing.
