hi all i was just wondering does any one run 10 inch rims on there challenger.i have 15x8 cragers on the rear of my 72 challenger with 275 60 15 tyres but was toying with the idea of fitting 10inch rims this time,thanks david.

From another thread:

A 295/50/15 will fit a stock chassis and wheel arch but only if it is squeezed onto a 8" wide wheel rim which is really far too small. Plus you would only have a quarter inch betweem rubber and spring. I don't understand how Freddie gets his wheels and tyres to fit! My 295s only have about 1/2"-3/4" between rubber and spring with 10" wide rims and the springs moved in 3/4". My 15x10 wheels have a 5.5" backspace.

thanks for the replys i have being looking through some old posts on this subject but i did not have enough time to study them all, this is a great help.looks like ill be sticking with what i have for now but when i measured my 15x8 rims it looked like i could go that bit wider ,both the crager ss 15x8 and 15x10 have a 4.25 inch back space thanks again for the help

It is all about finding the best combination of keywords, when you do the keyword search. I used "9.5 and rim".

Good luck with your project.

thanks christer,ill just spend a bit of time with a mesureing tape and ill see how i get on i wonder if any one on the forum is useing 15x10 crager ss wheels as there the rims ill be useing

With only 4.25 backspace the tyre is going to be very close to the edge of the wheel arch. So measure carefully.
