Zero offset basically? I've always thought Mopar cars worked best with 1/2 inch of offset. So 5.5" BS on a 9 inch rim and 6.0" BS on a 10 inch rim. I usually start with 1/2 inch of offset on any Mopar I work on and then go from there. I keep a stack of spacers on the shelf so I can move the rim back out 0.125 or 0.250 to get things perfect.

Thank you, Sir !
The outer wheel tubs in these cars is a bummer though. The design makes for clearance problems with a lowered car.

I found these pictures online. Someone had forethought while doing quarter panel replacement.


Was done here locally by a shop in Newton, KS.
