    Wheel/Tire Sizing – 63 Plymouth

    Few years ago had hunted down wheels and tires to upgrade my car. Most concerned with clearance for the fronts, come to find that after getting the car on a rack going to 15” Magnum’s and P235/60 fit with no issues. Likely more clearance. With the larger wheel and lower profile tire, the overall...

    Rallies or Cragar?

    Much as I like the Magnums, spending a ton on them a few years ago for a new/larger wheel, one of the decisions I’d like to have a do-over on. Those wheels you have are outstanding.

    Rallies or Cragar?

    I’m a geezer when Cragars or Keystones were the choice for dressing up a ride. Nothing wrong with the factory road wheels or my preference, Magnums. MO, those Cragars like nice.

    Tires

    Just on my 2nd set of Firestone Destination tires suggested by the shop I buy tires from. I had them on one of my prior trucks. Aside from the must-haves for traction and such, want a quiet tire. I just changed the tires out and recall I got pert-near 45k and could have driven them another...

    Asking your opinion; best wheel package for a 1970 Super Bee

    I've always been a fan of the classic stock Mag-500 wheels. I changed from the 3-piece to chromes a few years ago 14 to 15. If I had to do over, I sure like the aluminum mag wheels. A more subtle flash from chrome. Like Keystones having those on my Challenger back when. Have had...

    Wheel Purchase - Opinions Needed

    Took me a while to pull the trigger on the tire size for my ’63, going to 15 x 7 magnums. Just couldn’t get enough assurance what size tire would fit. After a look on an alignment rack, went with P235/60’s finding out I could have gone wider, especially on the rear with about 2” clearance yet...

    Spare Tire space below Dakota pickup box

    Anyone having a pickup putting on larger wheels, encounter lack of space for holding the larger wheel spare? I went with 17” Ram wheels on my Dakota stock 16”. Damn, the space for this 1” change isn’t enough. Have the short-bed quad cab. Tire squeezes against the muffler and trailer hitch frame...

    Fix-A-Flat Product

    I had no clue AWD was available, was surprised when I went to check out the 4W. Dealer didn't know it either. With all the options it has doesn't have the rear window that opens, miss that.

    Fix-A-Flat Product

    Checked bone yards around here...I'm sure they have wheels given how many Dodge trucks have been around but they tell me nope we have none. Don't know if it's not worth their time to pull 'em out or something. Only U picks around here (well about 40-50 miles out) are OLD yards I've been to...

    Fix-A-Flat Product

    Greatly appreciate it YY1, yeah shipping it could be too much of a hassle. Don't see many under 70-75 bucks, but more are higher. One I had my eye on a Dorman wheel was around that; but was a 6.5" so passed. Well, if you happen to measure it you could PM on what you want for it and I can...

    Fix-A-Flat Product

    They're 17" and looking for 7" or so wide for the tires I have on it. P265/70's. 6.5" I've found to buy look a bit too narrow for this rubber...

    Fix-A-Flat Product

    It's a full-optioned Laramie Dakota - yep has AWD. Was surprised when I flew out to pick it up, advertised as a 4WD. Best truck I ever had driving in slippery weather. Restored it two years ago expecting to keep it long as I'm around. Despite the schmuck ruining some of the resto crashing...

    Yeah - tire isn't the hassle since replacing; but not sure what mess is left on the wheel.

    Fix-A-Flat Product

    Still hunting for a spare for my Dakota that fits. I have Ram 1500 wheels on it - inch over the stock wheels. Truck is AWD so using my original wheels isn't an option. I'm getting new tires on it in a couple weeks, there's still probably a few thousand miles left on them, but don't prefer to...

    Identifying wheels

    Depending on the vintage, Mag 500 (Mopar) were commonly 5.5 or 6". I think later models had 7"; not sure. Measuring a wheel:

    Remember Split Rims on Pickups?

    Lol, yeah back when (I'm a geezer) working on those wasn't as scary as thought - meaning - didn't know better on how those could kill ya or separate a coveted limb. Having had to investigate workplace accidents...one guy was decapitated and another lost an arm...SO I said to myself - ain't...
