Fellas and Gals.

I just purchased a 73' Dodge Coronet four door daily and I am interested in changing from the stock 14' rim and tire combo to a 15" tire combo.
Which width 15" rim (6"or 7") and backspacing along with tire size would you guys run to give it a cool look aside from more patch on the surface?

Thanks in advance.

Let's see pics of this car and history on it.

I just got back to town tonight and will take flicks tomorrow and post. I just got delivery of it last week and couldn't even drive it because of work travels.

So far, it is a second owner and been in storage for most of its life in Ohio with the senior lady that owned since new. It ended up in Detroit with the second owner who only drove it for 10,000 miles and then parked it under a car port.
78000 original miles now reads. Trunk is flawless and the under chassis is clean and rust free as far as I can see in a NY moment. Will take a hard long look at it later this week with some time while cleaning off the cobwebs and leaves.
Car has an extensive light group option and has a three way wiper system. A/C and AM radio. Crank windows and rear defogger.

Looking at jazzing it up a little with a nice street stance using stock black steel wheels.
Car runs like a top, but needs a little carb rebuild to restore the excel-pump.
Exterior looks fairly decent and straight. My body man "The Palm Reader" will let me know the real deal.
Plan to install a bone stock 360 later in the Fall.

There is a tool that you mount on the drum and you adjust it to see what size tires, and off set on the wheels that you can get inside the wheel well. It's around $50.

You can run 15X8 front and 15X10 back fairly easily on those cars. Well on the two doors anyway.

I put 255x70x15's/rear BFG's on my 71 RR. A/R-TTO 15x7 wheels. I had the same size/wheel combo with a 60 series and didn't like it. I'll be changing from 235/60's on the front to 225/70's also.

For me, the 60's are just too low a profile, and the 70's seem fill the wheel wells allot better. I did test fit a 15x8.5 with the 255/70, and it was too close to the lip for comfort. The offset was only 3.75, and you really need a 4" to 4.5" to comfortably fit a wider tire.

15x7 with 225/70/15 all around

Love this look

Here's the car in question. I will try the 275-60 RS-15's on the rear and see, then I'll post up.

here's the trunk underneath the floor mat. The underside carriage is just as clean with a slight haze of undercoating added.

starboard side. That's Grand Performance in the background. Some of the most knowledgable and honest mechanics and race car builders in the New York City area. That's why they get my business.
Unfortunately, one of them is a F.A.S.T Chevrolet owner and the other is a closeted Mopar guy. LOL

(Looks familiar...


I'm gonna guess judging by the winders that the air ain't working???

Here's the run down interior from 250 Lbs of previous driver weight. Now all I need to find is a reputable interior upholstery guy to rebuild the seats in the original color material.

RS23U1G was instrumental is getting this pup. He was gracious enough during a trip through that town to go take a quick look at it for me.
Other than some minor tiny surface rust areas, it's ready to get on the road till I find time to get it painted.
