Charger453 OP super stock C Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 867 Bellevue, NE	Looking to put 'em on my 70 Charger. I will have the car 2-3'' lower than stock so I don't know if that will be an issue. I found a good deal on a set of 15x10 wheels with 5.5'' backspacing and I'm thinking those might work ... I'm hoping somebody chimes in that's done it.

Dunno how you got around that on the roadrunner. My car has 295/50's (i believe) radial t/a's. web page Just have stock springs on it. Have some ss springs in the shed but have yet to get a chance to put them on.

How much room do you have between the tire and quarter/wheelhouse? I want mine to sit a couple inches lower than stock. Most guys have to raise to fit a tire like that. If you want to go lower than stock, I think you are going to run into problems.
