Whelp turns out the rims I want don't come in 4" backspacing  :RantExplode:

Will 15x8 with 3.75" fit under the wheel well of a 73 charger?

Thanks!

Thanks Tan,

Just realized you can get em custom order from Cragar for only about 20 more per wheel (according to summit, which is pretty reasonable)

Gonna call em tomorrow to find out.

Whelp I called summit and got on the phone with an idiot (which was great in the end, you'll see)  :brickwall:

Called cragar and talked to there sales dept, they said no problems wheel can be backspaced to whatever I need (between like 3.25 and 5.5 or something to those numbers) but I needed to order from a distributor.

Called up jegs this time instead (found out they were cheaper than summit at 45 a wheel) talked to there sales and the guy said no problem 15x7's at 4" and 15x8s at 4"...so I ask how much. Get this, only an additional 10$ per rim!

Shweeeeet!

I read somewhere that 15X8 might not work if your running the 2" drop spindles

FLG

Not sure but I'm going 15x7 in the front as I have 255s which should fit fine on a 7" rim.

255s fit fine even on stock iron 6" ( I have them )... maybe not the best fitment, but it fits
