Looking to get it 15X10 factory rims on 72' Charger. - 01/19/15 03:11 AM
Starting the resto on the Rallye 1972 Charger and decided the wheels are going to be factory steel steel rims with dog dish caps on them. So in thinking I have a couple sets of 15in steel wheels in can have made for them and don't know of any places in California that build rims. When frank passed away at Stockton Wheels, i lost the only source I liked and knew about. I figured I could have the fronts 15X8 and 15X10 in the rear. While in at it, also need back spacing measurements for those wheels if any body have the measurements handy. By going with steel wheels I can keep a factory look and have a nice set of cooper cobra' i can use (235/60R15 and 295/60R15 pairs I alrready have here). Looking to do the rims in next few weeks, so info will be helpful.

Not that I can help with a wheel vendor other than the normal suspects not I gotta ask, did oyu mean 295/50/15s or do they really make 295/60/15s?? I would be very interested in where to get those.
Thanks

I really like the Wheel Vintiques wheels that you can buy through Summit Racing. They're on the back of my car and worked out great. Nevermind the bigger cap, they use the smaller cap.

I think Stockton has re-organized after they had some problems. The website looks updated and probably has the same employees that made the wheels. Might give them a call. Mike

Migs,
If I recall correctly, the most backspacing you get put on the rear is 5"...and then you really have to watch how much sidewall buldge/flex you get, or you will have tire to spring contact.
Stock Backspacing was 4 1/4" as mentioned. If you go custom backspacing, I would shoot for 4 1/2" or MAYBE 4 3/4". I don't personally like a 15" rim with the 5" backspacing and a tall tire.

If you are going to have a set custom made then you might as well go up to a 16" rim. You'll find way more tire choices. As for the rear back spacing you might be able to get away w/ 5" factory is 4.5" I have 15x9 w/ 5 inches of backspace and the fit. 275/60/15 The taller bigger tire might "bulge" some so be careful.
