    70 RR 15x8

    Agreed. I've got 15x8 "steelies" that I got from Jegs or Summit or (?). The factory dog dish hub caps fit and they're just about perfect. I want to say I've got 265/60/15's and I've rolled my outer fender lips on a 70 Road Runner. Just by eyeball, 8" wide and maybe 1/2"-1" more offset...

    Steel Wheel Advice?

    I've had good luck with factory 15" junkyard steel wheels up front and replicas that are 15"x8" in the back (Summit Racing?) I'm sure others have them. Factory dog dish hubcaps fit perfectly. I like them

    Rallies or Cragar?

    Aftermarket aluminum look-alike rallye wheels in a width/offset of your choosing???

    Wheel Stud questions

    Left handed lugs go on the driver's side of 70-72 Mopars, so I think you're correct

    I know know, another will it fit thread….

    On my 70 Roadrunner, I ran 15x10 wheels with 4-5/8" backspacing (tires? can't remember) with super stock springs (similar to your +2"). I "rolled" the outer fender well lips and they still hit the sidewalls with passengers in the back or angle/hill/turns like pulling into an odd gas station...

    Valve Stem Caps (not so simple anymore)

    I just use plastic caps....the free ones you find near air pumps at gas stations (seriously)

    Rear wheel back spacing 67 Belvedere II

    There are aftermarket "custom offset" factory looking wheels. I can't remember where I got mine, but I've got 8" wide steel rims and take factory hubcaps

    Cheese grater hub caps?

    dude....I've got a set of those too and they look killer. I ran those for years until I found a set correct for my year. Tip, get some model paint and repaint the outer low parts of the ridges...they'll look awesome

    10" wheel with et80 275s

    4.5" backspacing on 10" Centerlines is tight enough you need to trim the inside lip of the wheel wells, fyi

    Goodyear Polyglas GT E and F-70-14 tires

    Gee, nobody should ever drive on those tires. If they're not original equipment on some car, then they're worth -$20 (disposal fee). If you can verify they're original on something, they'd be worth something to someone.

    Patina?

    I always put WD-40 on my aluminum wheels in the winter while driving in salt/snow. It looks like hell, but when you wash it off in the Spring the aluminum is not pitted. Also...be at least a little bit careful if you "scrub" the magnesium since magnesium bits can burst into flames. Never...

    Patina?

    Is that salt pitting?

    17 inch tire sizes for 71 RR

    I don't know your answer (somebody here probably does). There are charts online that show various tire's height + width. fyi-all 235/15's (for example) are really close in size, but vary slightly brand-to-brand. Anyway...you can probably find out on this site what are the largest 15" tires...

    Help me ID these lug nuts!

    I've had the best luck at O'Reilly on that. They carry a HUGE selection of lug nuts in stock.

    Front tire size question

    There are some real tire experts on this website....I just own a 70 RR & am putting new tires on it. Is it possible for you to get a set of 8" rims on the back & narrower up front? I "think" the original 70 RR optional wheels were 15"x7". A good starting point might be to see if you can...

    Front tire size question

    Owning a 70 Roadrunner, I'm 99% sure that tire won't fit up front....I mean, it would fit if you never want to turn your wheels, but driving the car, I don't think so. I've come up with "roughly" a 28" diameter MAX tire up front & that's only on a stock steel wheel. It looks to me like a...
