Currently running what I believe is a 4" or 4 1/4" BS Steel Wheel off mid eighties(?) RamCharger on my 69 Coronet w/275/60 Drag Radials but would like to tuck them in another 3/4" without moving the rear springs in (3" exhaust = a little tight)

Anyone know of another year/model/application Mopar 15x8 Steely or even a Ford that would work?

Been thinking about this for a few years. Thanks

I don't think there is one , 15x8 wheels on mopar with a 4.5 bolt pattern come in 2 flavors , the wheel you have and a Super Coupe wheel .. THAT'S IT .

you either by a new wheel ... if it exists , or have one made ....

I don't know where your located, so shipping costs might be a issue, but I've had stockton wheel modify a stock set of wheels for me before to a custom backspacing for a pretty reasonable price. www.stocktonwheel.com The website isn't very good but it gets you a phone number.

Heh... hate to break it to ya, but the wheels you have are it, and they are probably bringing in used what new wheels would cost anyways. Maybe sell your 15x8's and use the coin for new custom ones? Lots ov options.

You might be right. I have a disc brake setup from a Duster going on in the spring, I hear that may bring the front wheels at a bit, offseting the goofy look I have now. Yes, I said goofy.

No disrespect here, you have an awesome/sweet B-body.

But, you're too particular for yor own budget. That traditional big/little offset is the nature-of-the-beast. Either run the same size all the way around (not street/strip for sure) or learn to live with it.

Over the years, the custom deal, like from Stockton, is the only fix I've seen or heard of.

And the 15x10 wheel was standard on what car/pickup from the factory ?

That wheel offset is only an issue when switching the LBP disc setup onto the 72 down A body with small bolt pattern wheels .

I had 15x10's made for the back of my Coronet with 275/60/15's on the back. WeldCraft in Livonia Michigan did them for me. Very inexpensive & looked awesome done.

Ya See, I disagree. I had the same setup 20 years ago on my 70 Challenger, Air shocks blew out and tore up my perfectly sculptered Bondo'd rear quarter wheel lips. White smoke everywhere, you'd think I ran over Scarface himself. It looks Butt ugly and Stands Out Too Far. If it makes you feel better, refer to my original post and dilema and you'll see clearly I want them tucked in a little more.

If I wanted the "Rear Wheels hanging out past the wheel well look" i'd drive a quarter mile up the road where I saw a perfectly good Racoon tail attached to what used to be the rest of it's flatenned bloodied body, Lop it off and hang it from my antenna to go with the Fuzzy Dice hanging from my rear view mirror and rainbow "peace" stickers on all the windows.

The 80's are over and the 70's, well...

I'm glad you had the chance to post your R/T. You do have a terrific looking R/T there, Love the red interior. Would look better with the rear wheels tucked in.

I think you need to have your glasses checked , those wheels are NOT hanging outside the quarters and the rear is not jacked up. The Dodge B body has some big wheelwells and you can tuck a big tire inside, he was just showing you and option you could consider considering you are going to have the wheels MADE the way you want them because you aren't going to find them in the junkyard .

Listen, Can't make it any clearer. I have 15x8's with room to spare between the Leafs and the wheels and looking to bring them in close enough for the tires to almost kiss the springs and...

... and nothin. That's about it.

Looking for nothing larger than a 15x8 and 15x10's are Too Big and gawdy for Any Pre-71 B-Body with a stock axle width.
