You can always mount the white letters inside.

You are lucky.. Lots of people have browning issues with the outer most part of the letters.

bfg just dont hook up for me. I had MT drag radial and loved them but they went away quick. Now I run Cooper cobra and they are the best of both worlds. The front will be switched this spring. PICS when your done!!

Black walls out and these tires really handle rain very well. I run 255/70/15 on all 4 corners. Solid footprint and no balancing issues!
Different color, but this might help. I've been very happy with my Coopers. I usually make the 80+ mile (each way) trip to SE WI for the WMMC car shows twice a year and it rides like a dream on the Coopers. I'm partial to the white letters, but I think they'd look good on your Satellite.
Any issue rubbing?
Summit doesn't have the 15x8 with 4.5bs till May, they only have the 4.0 BS if those will work on a 69 Charger.
Thank You
What size tires and rims?

Pretty good endorsement, given that Dennis has gone cross-country on a set of those...

What did you do that a 4.5" backspace wheel doesn't rub the upper control arm?
Different front hub and rotor assembly?
When 15x7 Mopar rally wheels came out Chrysler engineers said they wouldn't fit early cars. I bought a pair to test fit on my1964 Plymouth, there wasn't much room cycling through full jounce and rebound but they cleared.
For entertainment purposes I bolted late Charger 17x7 4.9 bs wheels on my 64. Strange looking.
15”. 295/50 15’s. Think they are 8” rims. Came mounted and balanced from Summit as pictured minus the dime store trim rings. 69 Coronet. Did put a spacer on the drivers side only (thanks Kern) as the inside wall would kiss the leafs when pushed hard. Safe in heavy rain/freeway.

actually had a clearance issue with the wheel weight contacting the upper arm. I ended up going with stick on wheel weights for the front and all is well. The 4” back space should give you more clearance to the arm, but it would be closer to the fender. Not sure if the Charger fender has more room or not, but my tire is close to the fender with my car being lowered.
Here’s a link to my build…

I am running A body spindles and disc brakes, maybe that moves things out a bit. The wheel weights would contact the control arm under certain loads. I went to stick on wheel weights and all is well.

Have coopers on my work van and my 95 bronco and love them. Will be putting them on my ssp this spring
I can add a second on these. I have them on my 427 Cobra replica and they are a real nice street tire. They are essentially the same as the Cooper Cobra but I understand they have a slightly upgraded rubber formulation. At least that is what MT technical reps have reported but they are made in the same plant. However, any advantage may just be due to a little more aggressive thread design.
