more Wheels & Tyres help ?

Post by Charger »

OK, I want to upgrade the wheels/tyres on my Charger to fill out those cavernous arches a bit more. Favourite at the moment is a set of Torque Thrust ?D?s

I?ve searched on here and read loads of posts over and over as to what the best/correct wheel size / tyre size & backspace should be

Conclusions so far ?
Rear 8x15?, 275/60x15 tyre, 4? backspace
Front 7X15?, 235/60x15 tyre

Question time ?
Q1. Have I got the above about right??
Q2. What is the correct backspace for the front??
Q3. Would like to go 8x15? on the front as well, with say a 245/60x15 tyre, is that going to rub?? If so, where??
Q4. Anyone got a set of 4 for sale roughly matching the above sizes??
Q5. Reputable outlets to buy new?? Only looked at North Hants Wheels & Tyres so far (add in CA)

Thanks in advance!!

would think 4 1/2" backspace on the rear or you may get tyre rub and stick with 7" on the front
