Trying to nicely ask about modern rims without provoking vintage rim fans. I like the 60's look too, but imagine how much it would suck if I spent 5 years and much $ building my 72 Charger only to have it make my 90's Buick feel fast.
I think I can accept the look of this rim -
Kinda...
...33% is one number that has been tossed around. Drum brakes? I'd assume about the same but I'm not certain. I am certain that the fronts do assume the greater concentration of force in a street car. Drag cars are different due to the radically different tiresizes...slicks versus pizza cutters....
I never had any issues with any of the M/T street tires, Slicks or drag radial I ever got
well worth the $$$, they are nowhere near the most expensive,
for a raised white letter sport tire, more middle of the road
especially in the offroad AT/MT stuff...
It's not always about price...
never had...
Man I love the look of that! I might copy those tiresizes! I'm wondering if you think the 255/70 will fit being that my rims are 8.5 3.75BS and yours were 7 with 3.75BS. I think they will... hopefully.
...one that I made up. Pretty good at excel so built the formulas and started playing with possibilities. Rpm changes with change of gear, tiresizes. Helped me find my happy points.
On my last post, it says “positive” rear gears. Should be “posi” or limited slip.
Using the lock up tied...
...on the backs that are rubbing? Any pics so I can see how they look?
Also hoping someone out there reading this thread has any ideas on tiresizes for 15x8, and would you run same sizes on front and back or a little narrower in front? Want to fill the wheel well a bit and go wider but not to...
Thank you everyone for the input. I now have a set of the 15x7 mopar steel rims. I appreciate the start for tiresizes.... as you all mentioned, I will take measurements on my car before my tire purchase.
...the rim width. Several online “calculators” will provide info on the actual over bulge or under fill of a rim with recommended min/max tiresizes. 295 should be on a 10”, but folks run it on an 8”. I have the 295 on a 9”.
For fitment, I use this link:

The tooth count is usually molded inti the gear. It doesn't necessarily relate to the ring & pinion ratio. The current tiresizes do not really relate to the sizes shown in a service manual. Several charts for speedo pinion and modern tiresizes are on the net. A speedo pinion for a 2.76 gear...
...wheel sizes for my 64 Fury - Ill be buying Torq thrust wheels - I'm still on the fence as to 15" OR 16" and I don't know what to order as far as offset's for the front and rear..... any advice / experience you have would be helpful.
- Rims, Offsets & tiresizes, etc.
Thanks
Best Regards...
Thank you. The reason I posted is my driver's side rear drum heats up to 170 degrees compared to 70-80 on the passenger side after a 30 minute drive. I had the wheel/braking assembly and bearing checked with 2 different mechanics and they found nothing.
