I’m sure this has been posted half a thousand times on here but I am looking to see if someone has a chart for wheel and tire combos, offsets, that fit without modification. I am looking to put Torque Thrust D wheels on my 68 Polara Wagon and wanted to know the max size tire I can get in the back (without modification) but account for the wheel offset. Not sure if I want to do 4 of the 15x7 or 2 of the 15x7 and 2 15x8. Any help is greatly appreciated! Pics are bonus, too!

Yes there are many threads refarding rim and tire fitment.
15x7 all around with zero offset and 4 or 4.25 backspacing.
For a wagon 22575r15,23575r15, or 23570r15 all around.
Or 22570r15 front and 27560r15 rear on a 15x8 with 4.5 backspacing.
I prefer same size allround to rotate the tires. But thats just me.

Post #29 in this thread, plus all the stuff everybody posted, could give you ideas
@cbarge post #2 above, if that's size/combo you seek, almost can't miss fit wise..that's the "sweet spot" for slabs. SO, any of what he said, if your car is not modified, should work fine. TT's look good on C's for sure.
Come back after you have what you picked as let us see what ya did please?
As to tire size, the widest factory tire which even was on a 14" wheel on a C-body was the mid-1960s station wagons. 9.00x14 on a 14x6.5 wheel.
I understand "the stance" some desire, but in real world performance, 4 15x7s with 4" or 4.25" backspacing works just fine. As mentioned, then you can rotate the tires for longest life.
To me, it's hard to beat Magnum 500 (or VN-501s) in 15x7 4" or 4.25" backspacing on Mopars, period. All FOUR tires/wheels the same size.

If helps, my '68 Fury wagon is wearing 275/60-15 on 8" wheels back and 225/70-15 on 7" wheels front. Tires never touched the car.
That looks great!
Elie May just got a new set of rubber boots this week, her sizes were 235 70r 15s all around

Funny. I got this new samsung phone. For some reason my before are becoming afters
I have a set of Rallye wheels off my old 74 RoadRunner, 14", I'm thinking of putting on the 73 Suburban Wagon. They are at different locations, so I haven't discovered why they won't work yet. I'm hoping 225/75/14 tires will be close enough to the originals to look OK.
