A friend of mine had a 70 Super Bee with 14" rallyes on the front and 15" on the rear. It was factory equipped and was even shown on the braking info sheet in the glove box. Saw the paperwork myself. Anyone seen any other Mopars equipped like this? Edit- I should have said "supposedly" factory equipped !

well I could make a call and see if he could scan the paper but I don't know the new owned too well although we have spoken. When my friend had the car he had to show the brake info sheet to a lot of disbelievers.

Let's think this through....
How would that be coded on the BS? WS? Anyone ever seen a factory reference to this set up?
How would you ever rotate tires? Why would the factory make an owner purchase two different sizes of tires when it was time to replace them? What if the owner couldn't purchase matching tires? Would the owner then be forced to purchase two more matching rims?
What size spare would come with the car 14? 15?
Lots of things to think about on this one....
AAR Cudas and TA Challengers had different size tires front and rear and so did the 78 Lil Red Express. No spare on the 78 LRT

Agreed,..tires not rims the brake sheet is obviously a typo

I'll guess a typo on the Consumer Information sheet, it does show tire sizes but does not mention rims. Tire sizes were also noted on the label in the driver's side door jamb. If one exists for this car, what is the part number for it? The last two digits of the part number for the sticker would be on the broadcast sheet also.
