I'm looking to put a set of 15in slots on my 68 Charger for an old school look. What's the best wheel/tire size setup for this? I'd like to go with the widest possible wheel but I'm not sure what works the best without the tires rubbing.

Thanks

That's exactly what I want to do with my 68 Road Runner. It had slots when I got it back in 82 and I thought it looked great. You should have no problem putting 15x8's with a 255 60 tire all the way around. 275 60 will fit in the rear but not sure how well in the front. Back in the day my buddy had 15x10's with 50's all the way around on his 69 Charger but the front fenders needed a little trim. It's amazing how much tire you can put on a Charger.

I haven't really looked but if you found a source to buy new slot mags I'd like to know about it.

I was looking at these through Summit.... American Racing Manufacturer's Part Number A695865. I'm not sure which brand is the best.

Those are some nice looking wheels. Anybody here used them that can comment on the quality?
