I am looking at wheels and tires for my project a 1965 Ddodge Coronet 440.What is the widest rim I will be able to put on it comfortably and the largest size tire?I am looking at Cragar mags,old style chrome.I would like to put a smaller tire on the front.It has a 440 motor and a 3:55 rear end.Thanks

Holy Moses that is really tight!I dont think I want to go that tight .I thought that a ten inch rim would be too big,but apparently not.Good luck with the build.

Check out the Cragar 610C wheels. Same look as the composite 08/61 classic Cragars, but solid aluminum with nice chrome. I have the 610P(polished), 15x8 w/ 4.5" backspacing and Mickey Thompson Sportsman SR's, 28"-10"-15" on the rear of my '70 Coronet and they fit nicely up in the wheel wells. 15x7 up front with 26"-8"-15" Mickeys.
