American Racing Groove Wheel discussion

[HeavyDanger]

So I have been thinking lot's about what wheels & tires I want to order for my Charger Project and recently seen these A.R "Groove" wheels on a Restomods car. Best I figure below is the setup as they don't make a 17" I really like this look.

So for now I am running my original (4) wheel drum brakes, essentially everything is just going back to stock during the restoration to get the car back on the road after 40 + years and then I intend to start doing mod's as desired. (Disc Brakes, QA1 etc.) I just want to see what I like and don't like before starting those projects. So with that in mind I will likely running a disc brake in the future I think these would be a good fit but I do not want to do any modifications to the body as all that work is completed. Should I expect any issues running these, I am not a big tire guy so any help is sure appreciated. I havent checked yet but I assume I have stock 68 thread patterns, but I would love to dial in the exact wheel spec for my goals.

Front Wheels

• Size: 18×8
• Bolt Pattern: 5×4.5" (5×114.3 mm)
• Backspacing: 4.5" to 4.75"
• Offset: 0 mm to +6 mm
• Center Bore: 72.6 mm or larger (hub‑centric ring ok)

Rear Wheels

• Size: 18×10
• Bolt Pattern: 5×4.5" (5×114.3 mm)
• Backspacing: 5.5" to 5.75"
• Offset: 0 mm to +12 mm
• Center Bore: 72.6 mm or larger

With a 15x10 rear wheel on a Charger and a 5-1/2 backspace you'll likely want to use a 1/2" spacer. The Charger has plenty of room on the outer side, less on the inner.

I don't own a Charger but I bought a set of wheels and tires that had been on one. The previous owner had been running 1/2" spacers and there was some "minor" evidence of inner tire rub - which probably occured prior to using the spacers.
