15x8 STEEL RIMS

[LocuMob]

The 8" steel wheels were standard equipment on 4X4 Ramchargers and Traildusters. I ran a set with 275's on the rear of a 69 GTX and with great effect. The same wheels are now on my brothers 68 Hemi Charger.

They work good on B bodys but no place for them on C bodys...... Just looks awkward.

I run 275's in the rear on my 66 Polara and love the look. I believe an 8" rim, never measured. I run 245's on the front on a 7" rim, that's what I had. Still, they don't look out of place.

The 255s look good, what size rim? Are they on all four corners or just the back?

255 rear and if I recall 235 on the front all on 7 inch wheels

The tough part seems to be finding one size tire that works front and rear. I saw the black car at a car show and instead of talking to the owner right away I went across the street to grab some lunch, came back car was gone. I haven't seen it since, the rims are later police style with the slots. are those all 15x7?

 

[polara71]

I would presume yes. A lot of Chrysler rear drive cars in the 80s had them
