Got a set of new 15x10 Rallye Wheels with 5.5 inch back space. Thought they were gonna work for me, but didn't. I did have tires mounted on them, but never driven with them on the car. This is for wheels only, still in the box from Wheel Vintiques.

$400.00

PM me if interested.

What was the problem with them, fit? I am putting the same size rims on my 70 RR and I'm hoping I won't have an issue. I have ET Street drag radials 295 55-15.
 
First, the clearance from the sidewall of the tire to the leaf spring was too close, only a quart inch. Second, with out air shocks, would have had issues with the tire rubbing on the outer wheel well!!!! Don't know what I was thinking when I bought these, however, I think the 72 and earlier have more room then 73 does!
 
70 RR...I know they fit on a 69 Bee. Running 15x10 with 5.5 backspace and MT 295/55/15 with no problem. They hookup very nicely also.
 
Thanks Big Country! I'm looking forward to getting this monster up and running. Hope to have it back on the road by next weekend! Doing a major motor project and I have hit a couple of snags but seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
 
Still looking for a good home for these wheels!
 
Bumping again, have had a few bites but no serious inquiries.
 
Is $400 still your price? These are $181 each, shipped from Summitt.
 
Guess I am SOL then! Even if I reduced my price with shipping still will lose my *** on them! Amazing how quickly the price has come down on these.
 
Hey, are they sold yet? Do you guys know if they would clear nicely on the rear of my 74 Charger, running 275/60-15's? I believe they(Chargers)have more clearance than the late model R-Runners Thanks fellows!
 
Not sold, but unless you are local (Colorado) I cannot give you a better deal than what Summit Racing is offering right now. Just too expensive to ship.
 
If there is anyone local in Colorado front range that is interested in these wheels, and I don't have to ship them to you, I will let them go for $350 if you are interested. I know its only $12 less than on line but its still $12.
 
Hmmm, I've been looking at these for a while now but you would need to ship them (so would summit) so I might as well help a forum member out. I need you to measure the inside of them though so I understand how big discs I can fit behind them.

PM me
 
I was talking to a guy At the chrysler @ carlisle event who had. A 69 charger, he told me 5.25" back spacing is about as far you can go 70 and back b-bodies . If anyone has info backing this up I am interested as I'm building a 69 runner and want as much tire as possible without mini tubing

I think all these cars could be slightly different, and Dodges seems to have a little more room than a Plymouth. On my 69 Charger, I ended up with 5 5/16" bs on the drivers side and 5 1/8 on the passenger. 5 3/8" on each side would rub on the inner wheelhouses while turning going over a dip.
I would really like to put 10" rims and 295/50's on my 69 Road Runner, but it would be tight. On that car I would need 5 5/8" on the drivers side and 5 3/8" on the passenger side.
Your car maybe fine with the 5.5". You could always use a spacer if needed.
