this is the 68 charger sizes that fit everytime and I think it works on the GTX as well. If you are talking about magnum 500s or the like;

fr 15x7 4.25" backspace 235x60x15 tires
rear 15x8 4.5" backspace 275x60x15 tires

this will give you a 28" tall tire in the rear not 26" like the stock tire height, but it gives it that "Fat" tire slightly lifted rear look.

You can go 15 X 8.5 with 4.5 back spacing and 275/60-15's Here is my '68 rr with 15 x 8.5 & 4.5 back spacing but with 255/60-15's and still have plenty of room for 275's on 8-1/2" American Racing. Have the same combo on my '69 GTX and still PLENTY of room for 275/60's

'69 GTX with 225/60-15's w/ 4.25 BKSPC on 15 x 7.0 AR TTO up front---

with 255/60-15's w/ 4.50 BKSPC on 15 x 8.5 AR TTO on the rear and still room....well I can still get my fingers between the lip and the tire with a cloth rag if that's a measurement

Anyone have an a-body 8 3/4 in a '68-'70 Plymouth B-body so you can run deeper wheels?
