Hi all,

I have a 2 part question that I hope you can help me answer. I am ready to pull the trigger on new Magnum 500 wheels for my 66 Charger. I am trying to decide what width would look the best. The choices I am considering are:

15x10 295-50-15
15x7 215-65-15 ( I currently have a new pair and not planning on changing them right now.
or

15x10
15x8

15x8
15x7

15x8
15x8

What do you would look the nicest?

Part two. Any issues with Coker wheels?

Thank you,
528hemi
 
For best looking:
Answer B (15X10 and 15X8)
I did have issues with 245/60-15 on the front catching the wheel lip molding.
I think a slightly smaller tire on the front would make it.

It really depends on the look you are after you could go with the same size wheel and tire all around for a more factory look, (15x7) or go with staggered sizes for a big and little look or wide all the way around. I am using 15x7 fronts with 245/60 and 15x8 rear with 275/60 but I have been contemplating a set of 15x7 all around with a 215/ or 225/70 at all four corners. The possibilities are many....
 
May not be what you are asking, but I run cop rims (15x7) on all my cars.
A cop car I bought long ago came with 215 70R15 tires on cop rims and I just kept on getting that size since my preferred tire store always has that size in stock. (Means I can get some off the price as well, usually.)
It appears that is the maximum size tire for a 7 inch rim.
I know it will fit and presents no issues, which is my primary concern.
