Tired of all my cars being set up and street strip cars and on this car I hate the Foose wheels. I'm thinking of changing my 70 Coronet to a Pro Touring/driver. Probably set it up on air ride and 4 link as I get more serious with mini tubs. What is your wheel and tire combos with picture please?

18 x 9" Mikey Thompson SC-5. They're for Mustangs and have a +22 mm offset or a +32 mm offset.

On a B-body I would use at least 18x9.5 if not 18x10's in the front. Think go-cart like in terms of response. 275-295 wide tires in the front and rear or 315-335 in the rear. My Dart has 18x9 275-35-18 fronts and 18x12 335-30-18 rears. It does things a Dart never should.

Love your dart 72 swinger!!

^^^^^^Thanks man!

My 70 Charger has 18x9 fronts, 275-40-18 Nitto NT05s. Rear is an 18x10 with a 295-45-18. I'm tempted to switch to a 295-40 out back because the 45 series sidewall looks a bit bulbous to me sometimes.

Got any pics?

love the 70 coronet!


mine is 18x9.5 +15 offset with 3/4" hubcentric spacers and the wheels are Enkei RPF1's, Tires are Michelin pilot sports A/S3, 245/45

Love that 71-72 Road Runner!
Wow that thing looks aweome might consider one for a next project car!

Oh yeah 18x10.5 Forgelines on 295/35-18's square. Shooting for 315's next!

Yeah... It will have to wait a few days. I'm out of town on a different computer.

Nice! Enkei's look awesome!

My 70 charger has 18x10 FR500s currently. I had to add a 10mm spacer in the rear. They are temporary until can decide which wheels to go with. The tires are Nitto 555s. 275/40 front and 295/45s rear. I do have some very slight rubbing at the inside of the front tires. But, I am running a Borgeson steering box and I'm sure that's part of the rubbing. I just finished installing the suspension, brakes and running gear, but so far so good and I've pushed the car pretty hard since breaking in the engine.

If you go with a 2 piece wheel you can have the exact back spacing built into the wheel...no spacers needed and you can center the wheels in the wheel wells just how you want to maximize size and minimize rubbing...

Beautiful car!

true but two piece wheels are stupid expensive! the wheel spacers were are $100/pair and the enkei's were only $1200. The minute your looking at custom offsets your around the $3000 mark, I would love to order a set of custom offset 18x11 0 offset would be perfect!

Wow, wheels are expensive up there ! $750 a wheel sounds high unless they are a full on forged race wheel or something?

Other option you could keep in mind is looked for used one, it's easy enough to have back spacing or even bolt patterns changed if the price is right on a set of existing wheels. (Or even just changing outers to different widths)

Non-Mopar but I run these, and they are a forged center (with spun as normal) outer; wheel. I bought the last of the centers the company had made so no more of them around. I know a guy who does a cast version (2 piece) now...not as strong but still pretty decent. (and most all of the 1 piece stuff that is less expensive is cast anyways)

I have about $600 in all four wheels. I purchased them from American Muscle to get an idea for back spacing and caliper clearance.

thanks! I hope to drive it alot more this year, have bought a few upgrades this winter

American Racing Mustang wheels 18x9 +35 with 275-35-18 all the way around.

I had the centers deepened and the outside machined for the rocket racing domed caps.

Yes custom offsets are really expensive (my forged wheels cost $1100 per rim!) but that is the key that opens up to what is actually able to fit under our cars. In order to fit the widest tires sizes it will require a custom offset. Also I feel that our old B & E bodies can easily fit a 10-10.5" rim as anything less and you are literally leaving a bunch of meat on the table.

Since wheel and tires are the only things on the car that touch the road, I made sure that mine were as strong as possible. No way some investment cast made in china wheel is touching my rides. Not going to risk my safety at the track either.

To me it's money well spent and if one is fortunate enough to be able to get custom wheels I say go for it!
