Tires and wheels

[mopar951]

Hi everyone I found some good wheels and tires the rears are 8 inch wheels and the backspace I believe is 3.5 inches(you can see in the picture)the tire size is 275/60/r15 will these fit ok on my 69 dodge coronet?

I think they should fit okay! I'm sure some else will chime in & confirm that!

The offset looks like a problem. They may rub on the quarter panels.

I have two pair of nice mags, 15x8 1/2, with 3 1/2 backspace, that won't fit anything I own. Not enough backspace. Any reasonable tire width to match the rim width would be well into the fender. (One pair had ridiculously small 225s on em, to clear the fender. Two full inches narrower than those 275s)
If your car has a full open wheelwell, no fender line over the top of the tire, they MAY fit on your car.
A 4 1/2 backspace will fit 100% better.
Edit: and it looks like your tape measure is in-between the ribs, The ribs are what contact the disc/drum, so your measurement is wrong. You have even less bs than the picture shows.

3-1/2" is not enough back space as mentioned. I have five different sets of 15x8 rear wheels and all if them are 4-1/4" to 4-1/2" back spacing and fit good on a B or E body.

If the tires are a deal, even without the wheels, go for it.
If I remember right, the 69 Coronet has more open wheelwell in the back than my rr or 62 savoy. They MAY fit fine, even on those wheels. I have no way of knowing. I just know my similar wheels cause fitment problems on my cars.
(But I will give an example: my 62 has 295/55x15s on it, because the backspace is correct. But they are tight!)

How about cragers 15x8 4 1/4 backspace the tires size is 255/60/r15

How about cragers 15x8 4 1/4 backspace the tires size is 255/60/r15

Those should fit. Moderate width rim, with close to ideal backspace, and a moderate sized tire.

Just as a reference the factory 14x5.5(or 5.75 whatever it is, considered a 6 inches though) has 3.75 bs.
