Ok I have a question for my 70 challenger RT. I would like to put a set of Rallye wheels on my car. So, can I put 15x8 wheels and BFG 275/60/15 on rear and 15x7 235/60/15 on front? If so, will the trim rings fit the 8 inch rim on the back? Is this the factory specs? Thanks for your help. David

A factory 15x7 trim ring obviously won't fill the complete outboard side of the rim unless the back-spacing is where the additional 1" is. You might find a trim ring for a 15x8 application (like a Corvette trim ring)?

It seems weird that they would make the 8 inch wheel but not a trim ring that fits correctly.
If they would have made a 8" rally wheel which they did not,they would have a ring to go with it !!

Even though Corvettes used 15x8 rims the trim rings were no deeper than ours and left a gap. Ron

My Challenger has 275's on rear with the 15x7 rallyes, and 245's on the front. 15x8's would likely rub.

I currently have the 15X8 w/ 4-1/2" b.s. on my Charger. They fit just fine on my Challenger also. There was no rubbing issues on either car. This was with 295/50/15's though. I didn't want the jacked up look of the taller 275's which is why I went with the 295's. there is a 1" gap with the trim ring. Not one person has ever mentioned or commented that they have ever noticed the gap to me anyway.
