Has anyone done the rear spring relocation on a '71-74 Charger or were you able to get wide rubber back there with out having to do it?
Thanks
I had 13.5 X 29.5 hoosier quicktime pros on mine with inboard springs, half tubs, and 3.5 back spaced 10" Centerline wheel on my old Charger. In the old days, the biggest tire I could run was an L6015 with an 8" rim. The above Centerlines with an N5015 stuck out past the quarters by about an inch.

Just out of curiosity, why did you move the springs inboard and do the 1/2 tubs, and only run 3.5" of backspace?!?!
I've got a 4.5" backspace 8" rim and 275/60/15's on the rear of my 71 R/T, and there is STILL room in the stock wheelwells.
I think you can get away with 5" of back spacing on the 71/4 Chargers, and not have any clearance problems...but you'll be close.

I guess I should have mentioned that I narrowed the rear. I already had the rims so it was a question of making what I had fit properly. I suppose if the rear end was not narrowed, and you used a different offset wheel, it could work. You need to make sure you have enough clearance as the tires could rub when cornering
