68 Road Runner Ralley wheels & Tires

[airkiller]

I have a 1968 Road Runner with 14" wheels on it now. I want to go with 15" Ralley Wheels but I do not want different sized wheels for front and rear. Any comments? Do I want 7" or 8" wide wheels and what tires do I want. Currently looking Radial T/A 235/60/15 and 7" rims>

If I went with the same size it would be the 15x7, with 235/70/15 tires. That would fill out the wheel-well pretty good.

If you went two different widths of wheels I would go 15x7 up front with the 235/70 and then 15x8 out back with the 275/60's . They would be just about the same height and really look awesome.

15 x 7's fit real nice, even with the typical aftermarket wheel back space (3.75"?). I have 235-70-15's on my 66 Bel with stock 15x7 steelies (4.5" BS) and they fit perfectly and look great. If you want the 15 x 7" all chrome road wheels (rallys) you will need to go with a factory Ford wheel - but use MoPar centers or the MP's (MoPar Police) will get you. These look great on the B bodies. I just have to wonder what MoPar was thinking when these cars rolled out with 14 x 5.5's and all that unused space in the wheel wells :black_eye:

The 7" & 8" combo you spelled out is exactly what I will put on my 69 RR. Glad to know it works :grin:

I agree, At least they put 15 inchers on the Hemi cars.
