Thanks everyone. The broadcast sheet shows 14" rallye wheels, which if I could find a very nice set. Finding nice trim rings and taking a chance on old rims plus the cost of shipping isn't worth it. I've thought about 15" magnums w/black wall tires. I would also mention, the car had new MP leaf springs installed and to my liking, they're too high. need to get different ones.

In the pix, you will notice a different bucket seat bracket, it is a bracket made by (Seat Rizer) which simply bolts to your original seat bracket and raises the seat by 2". I'm a regular size guy but I've always had trouble with the 71 b bodies (E bodies also) sitting so low. The cost was $45.00 which was way cheaper than the $500 for a broken 6 way. It's nice not having to worry about changing things

Try flipping the front spring perches. Should drop the stance without affecting the ride. Or, you could buy The Firm Feel perches which have an extra hole drilled so you can lower the rear.

Yep, what a difference. A 71 Charger without 15X7 rallyes just isn't complete.
