Modern Wheels. WHat can I put on my 1971 Satellite?

[Plymouth71]

Looking at some Modern Style Magnum 500's. What sizes can I put on and not rub? I'm thinking 17 or 18's, but what about width? or should I consider spacers?

The Year One Modern style Rallye's in 17" are really really nice too and would suit your Satellite well. Really depends on the car I know a lot of ppl on this forum don't like anything over 15 and if you do go big nothing over 17" or it looks too outrageous... Mind you there's a few cars on here with 18's that look awesome

When I did mine I wanted to Stagger 17's up front and 18's in the back but the rims I went with I couldn't get an 18 so I'm 17 all around

MyTire/Rim combo is 17X8 (front) and 17X9 (rear) American Racing T70R's with Nitto NT555 P255/45ZR17 & P285/40ZR17 95W

There is more than one thread here dedicated to B Bodies with oversized rims it just may take some time to look through the tire rim section

Thank you. That charger with the modern Magnum 500's looks great, I also like the modern Ralleye's, but not quite as much. Anybody with a 71-72 Satellite/RR/GTX have modern shoes on their ride?

My big issue is that lack of RWL tires over 16", and I think these cars should always have RWL tires. I wish someone would make a 16" Rallye!

I personally like the look of the Rallye's a little bit better on post-70's cars but it's all personal preference... I think the Magnum's would look great on your car especially if your car is lowered slightly.

Just do a google image of 71 Roadrunner's and a few come up with larger rim size... None with the new Year One wheels but you may find some other looks you like...

Just remember if you get any grief from those not liking the bigger rims that it's only 20 Lugs to go back and forth if you keep the Magnum's you have.

Yea I figured it out. For some reason the milk I was feeding my son reminded me of the white lettering. Lol

Ah the joy of little ones, and rethink no job too dirty.
