Easily.

Yeah but for a high school kid back in 78 they were the ****. Chrome was flaking, no rust, I recently sold them for $50 a rim! With custom back sets the classic Vs were 10,000% the cost too :drinks:

You also have to figure that back in the day we didn't have the rim choices like we do today. Pic from 1978 below. Cragar SS on the Charger, Cragar SST on the Bird. Sporting the ET Classic V this time around. I always liked the Torque Thrust look. Just a mock up below, the front end is a...

As many have said, they both look good. I think the 71-74s look awesome with the rallies, 68-70 not so much.

Follow the old guy wisdom my son. While we aren't pretty faces anymore we still know a thing or two about a thing or two. :)

I'm an **** bastard about these things but to be honest I cant tell the difference in your first image. Me thinks you're over thinking it. They all look good. People just don't look at the rims, they look at the whole package. Most people these days will come up to you and tell you what an...

Another option would be to smoke the rears off every year and replace them before they get brown. Can't help you with the fronts.

Run black walls and forget about it. :D

Without knowing the scope of your project, there is no real substitute for spraying in my opinion. Some of the gurus on here my have a better answer but brush on vs spray, no real comparison really. Rattle can or gun. Spray all the the way.

This is a loaded question. All cars are a bit different. There are volumes of information on this topic on FBBO if you truly read the threads. While not specifically about 15 inch rims, this thread tends to push the limit on what can be stuffed under these cars. Read the fine print and your...

One thing you may want to add....which brake system you want to add behind the rim. Stock drum, stock disc, after market disc and which after market disc. Caliper overhang, rotor diameter, rim width, rim diameter, rim design, rim backset, and spindle type all have to work together. Measure...

Wheel and tire combos are like Voodoo. Too many variables for what the end goal is. Stock, strip, street/strip, restomod, the list is endless. Your idea is admirable but there is no one size fits all. Do your research toward your own end goal. Tons of good info on this site of what works and...

Totally agree. I think I just found my Rim. Thanks Larry. I'll research it. Hopefully they come in the sizes I need with variable back sets.

What's the bolt pattern? 4" or 4.5"? Based on the center caps my guess is 4.5 but since they were on a "67" it's worth asking.

That looks Bad *** in my opinion. We just did a 72 Duster for my younger son (18) and he insisted on the more stock approach (15x7 and 15x8). His nickle, who was I to argue, I'm just the chief wrench. He thinks I'll ruin my Bird with 17s and 18s. Kind of funny really.

Thanks, good intel. Can you post a link to the site?

:rofl: LMFAO (Did I get that right youngster?) Hell I probably have a T-Shirt older than you. Your point is well made.

:rofl: What type of "Race" car did you see them on?

What is the back spacing on both front and rear Smoothie? That's pretty much the combo I want to go with on my 68.

Keep us posted on the suspension set up. You can be my guinea pig. The drop leafs shouldn't be a problem and I have read the drop spindles shouldn't either but one never knows. 1 inch in back, 2 in front should give it a nice low rake. I will go for it on mine unless I stumble across some info...
