Backspace question

tomlin · Aug 20, 2017

I know some of you are running 295/50/15 on 10 inch mopar cop wheels. It looks like everyone is using 5 inch backspace wheels. Wheel Vintiques offers the mopar cop wheel in a 5.5 backspace. Will the 5.5 backspace clear the inner wheel house or is the 5 inch backspace the only way to go? Thanks.

I’m curious about this as well... was you able to find anything out?

I don't think the 5.5 backspace would work. I ended up ordering the 5" backspace 10" Stockton's. They sit centered in the wheelhouse and do not rub.They are close with not much room for error It looks like it should have looked from the factory.

Ok cool thanks! I’ve been looking at Wheel Vintiques and Coker but they don’t have 5” so I’m guessing I’ll have to do a special order.

I went with the 15x10 cop Stockton's with a 5" backspace on the rear. Factory cop wheels on the front. Tire size on.rear is 295/50/15 and 235/60/15 on the front.

Same size front/rear I plan to go with for my 68 Charger. I saw other threads about 5.5 bs had the rims sitting inward too much
so I wanted to confirm this with other threads and websites so I’ll know which bs to go with.

Just keep in mind that my Charger is a 66. 66 and 67's have a massive amount of room for wide wheels and tires. Your experience on your 68 may be different.

Remember you can easily reduce your backspace with a spacer, but can't easily go the other way. So if unsure if 5" or 5.5", I'd go the 5.5".
