I doubt that punk has the first clue which is why he won't tell you. I think he stole daddy's keys.

I'm going to guess 295 drag radial on a 10.5 wheel but really the only thing I know for sure is that hood scoop needs to be burned, smashed, driven over, used as a garage for a prius, you get the idea

No tub or re locator. A little trimming here & there and they fit with no issues. Super stock springs, 15x10 with 5" back space.

Seeing is believing. Never would have guessed you could stuff a 325 in there. I always thought a 315 was pushing it. GTX Matt is right, it does look bad @ss.

Does anybody know if the stock wheel well is the same size as on the 70s as on the 68-69?

What year did they go from a 14" rim up to the 15" (at least on some package options)?

I think it was displacement, drive train package wasn't it? 440 and Hemi came with 15s, 383 came with 14s? Could be wrong. I'm pretty sure that's the case on the 68s. They only offered 383 / 14 inch and 426 / 15 inch.

Here are some bad pics of my last RR. It needed a frnt cap when I got, hence the black front., to lazy, broke and dumb to just paint it stock yellow, so I painted the whole car with spray cans of flat black, before flat black was cool! Anyway those are N50-15s on the back of it in the all black pic and can't remember what size slicks on the yellow&black.

Wheel size is as big a secret as cam specs, get used to it.

This one really brings back the memories. My 1st one looked so much like that it hurts me to see it in a way, knowing it was crushed and it's molecules are scattered among about a billion new modern crap cars. I just noticed, I even had the same side pipes, and I love them, muffmates I think they are called if those are the same. I gotta get me some more of those for my charger!
