295/650/15 dunlop G/T quailifiers on 10" wide centerlines wit 5" back spacing.
it helps to have a rear sway bar and stiff shocks to keep things in place around corners because it,s a tight fit.
Coronet of the same years outer wheel openings are NOT the same as the chargers
Yes, thanks. I'm sure they will fit if I get the backspacing correct. Both of these Chargers also have 295s on 10" wheels with 5" backspacing, so your info helps to confirm. I just wanted to get a width measurement of the BFG TA Radials because these are what I will be using and as you say, it will be tight and I want to cover all my bases. I know that the same size tire of different manufacture will vary slightly. Do yours rub at all?

No they didn,t rub at all.
I understand your concern though as sizes advertised as the same size can sometimes vary on different makes of tires .
Thank you!

Well I went out to cruise and just remembered this post. I'd say at the widest spot its 12 1/4-1/4 inches wide. Mine rubs occasionally around tight corners/ up hills turning, but I try to avoid that. Also added a really small spacer and that seemed to get rid of it a lot.
I appreciate it! Thank you. That helps!

From BFG's web site the 295/50/15 measures 12.2" on 9.5" rim.
I don't know if that helps you, the 9.5" rim may be close enough to the 10" to get you your measurement.
