Anyone have a 70 300 with these wheels? Was curious about wheel & tire specs. Ty

Not factory equipment on B- or C-bodies, but with a 4.0" or 4.25" backspacing, should work well.

Watch for sales at Summit this week!
 
A magnum 500 wheel is a classy upgrade to the lines of a 70-71 Chrysler 300 IMO. Tire size is up to the look you are after but a 235/70r15 would like nice all the way around
 
Wheel Vintiques pictures are very misleading. When you buy a wheel, that's all you're getting. No lug nuts, no center caps, no trim rings. Just one wheel. To buy all you see the price will nearly double. Even their website shows the same thing, I spoke with one of their representatives when I was looking to buy those exact wheels. Although very nice, she told me that's how they have always pictured them. As I recall, no where in the description does it mention it.

I didn’t know if the hub on the front drum would have any clearance issues. I was thinking a 15x7. I remember seeing a 70 300 vert that was green with Magnums and BFG’s on it and looked awesome. I wish I could contact the owner to see what his specs were.

I’ve come across a dealer of these wheels that sells on eBay call CJ pony parts and they offer a complete set with center caps for Mopars.

Those wheels have trim rings. Don't look as good as the chrome versions.

I agree. I meant to take a screen shot of a Chrome Magnum. Just not sure if the will fit with the big power drum brakes.
 
I have the 15 inch Magnums on my 68 with front drum brakes, they fit fine. I remember when I ordered them, the center cap, chrome valve stem and lug nuts were all separate. Which was just as well because I still have left threaded lug nuts on the drivers side.

There wre 14" magnums on my 69 fury when I got it. Had drum brakes all around. They fit but I remember when I pulled them off looking at the drum stud area that you would need some kind of spacer for most other wheels to work. Magnums have the is "spacer" already built in. So yes I think 15 magums would work on a 69-71 drum brake car as long as the back of the wheel looked like this. Maybe they all do.

Where did you find the LH lugnuts? Those wheels look great on your car.
