Here's a link to finding a shop that has a Hunter GSP9700 in your area : https://www.hunter.com/find-equipment/Seems like the Hunter GSP9700 should be available in a lot of tire shops. Unless you can get your wheels and tires from Tire Rack "Tire Rack uses Hunter 9700s exclusively here at the South Bend store (warehouse). They can detect the condition of the wheel and the tire separately, but with the tire mounted on the wheel." Now waiting for photos Mike

don't forget about the lug nut taper. dirt track wheels are 45 degree seat angle, while street wheels have a 60 degree seat angle. it would be a real pi$$er to have the wheels come loose and booger up the lug nut holes from using the wrong nutz............ you did say you were going to get some hub centric rings ?

Yessir i saw you mentioned that so i looked into it and ordered the lug nuts. As far as the hib centric ring ill get it once i get my new axles ordered from moser if i need to.

if i'm not mistaken, [not that i have EVER been before ] those wheels have the basic 3" or slightly larger, center hole that most wheels have to fit a bunch of different hub sizes. Mally, glad to see you got the right nutz coming. it's also a good idea to get the wheels in hand to measure the center hole for the hub-centric rings. those center holes can vary quite a lot from brand to brand and style, so best to measure and see. something to keep in mind about those rings. unless you get custom rings made, you might have to get rings that are "close", then chuck them up in the lathe to get them to size. i have had to do that twice. not a hard job, but you have to watch tightening the lathe chuck so you don't deform the rings. also, almost all of those rings are measured in mm, so you will have to figure out what size they are. [i'm not a mm fan. just too old to fiddle with the conversion math. ]

Good looking wheel, definitely lends a NASCAR vibe; especially if the car sits low with a bit of rake. Hopefully the center has enough ID for Mopar applications. May be time for fresh spindle dust caps !
A12, I run 275/60s on 15x8/4.5BS on both of my Road Runners, plenty of clearance. I think it gives a nice look, plus ita different. Something you dont often see. Which i LOVE being different but still have the somewhat old school look.

So a 15x10 with a 4.5 BS Will work without rubbing fender or leaf ya think? If all fails i def know the 15x8 4.5bs def works.. Did you end up mounting wheels yet ? I didn’t read the whole thread. I have a 70 super bee with 29x15-15 mickeys on the back of it with 15x10 wheels, I can’t remember the backspacing but they fit nicely, and look good to these eyes. I don’t think you’ll have trouble.
