I'm trying to decide what to do with my 71 Charger's wheels and tires. I need new tires and currently have 14x6 Rallye wheels all around. I'd prefer not to go narrower than a 245 tire in the rear, which is too wide for my current 6" wheels.
I'm considering the combination of 15x7 with 255/60/15 on the rear, with 14x6 or 14x5.5 with 215/70/14 on the front. The 215/70/14 is about 1.2 to 1.25 inch smaller outside diameter than the 255/60/15. Another possiblity is 215/70/14 paired with 245/60/15 on the rear. Only .75 inch difference in diameter between those. With the 215 having a 150.5mm sidewall compared to the 245 having a 147mm sidewall. 255 side wall is 153mm.
I'm not sure if I'll like the look of this kind of combination, so it would be nice to see some B-Body photos showing 14 & 15 inch Rallye wheel combinations. Another reason for considering this combination is the difficulty in obtaining a set of four matching (as in all 70/71 or all 72/73 vintage) 15x7 Rallye wheels. It is easier to find just a pair of either of those Rallye types.
