My car is Satellite with a Coronet front clip. I wanted new wider front and rear tires, so I researched this forum extensively to see what others had installed. I bought new Aero Race Wheels and BFG Radial TA's. I'm sharing my results with the forum to add to the knowledge base!
Front: 15X8 w/ 4" Backspacing. 245/60 R15.
No rubbing or conflict with suspension or wheel well.
Rear: 15X10 w/ 5" Backspacing. 295/50 R15.
I recently replaced the tired old leaf springs and shocks with Mopar Performance XHD Leaf Springs (P4452982/83) and KYB-Gas-a-Just Shocks (KG5512) and that raised the rear end up about an 1". I'm glad I replaced the rear suspension because the passenger inner fender well lip rubs when I hit a bump. I'm gonna try to roll that lip to get more clearance - currently about 3/8". The passenger side is a little better with about a finger's width of clearance. Here's a few pics so you can see the stance and minimal clearance.
Happy motoring y'all! Check the pics.....
Passenger Rear - really tight...
Passenger Rear. See the scraping after 1 week?
Driver rear - much more room
Front - plenty of room
