Anyone running Cragar SS 15x8's and 275/60/15 tires?

On the back half of your Challenger with NO Chassis or suspension modifications? (standard Cragar SS 4.25" BS) any issues? Any pictures?

I haven't done it recently, but I ran 15 x 8" Cragar SS mags and 275/60-15's on the back of my A66 70 Challenger. The only suspension change I made was adding air shocks because the car was a tail dragger. This was early 80's time frame. I only pumped the shocks up enough to level the car, and I didn't ever keep it at stink bug stance...lol. There was plenty of clearance between the tires and springs. Sometimes, if I hit a pot hole or bump real hard, the outer top edge of the tire on the drivers side would rub the inside of the outer wheelhouse where it starts bowing in. But only if I hit a hard bump. I had 275/60-15's on 15 x 8 Torque Thrusts on the back of a 71 Challenger several years ago. No suspension mods, no air shocks...and they never rubbed. I have 275/60-15's on the back of my 71 Challenger convertible on 15 x 7 factory Rallye wheels. The only time they have ever rubbed was when 2 heavy duty beauties at a car show wanted to ride in the back seat around the car show grounds where I went to a show. I have since learned that NO is a complete sentence!

I don't have cragars, I have aftermarket factory style 15x8 with 275/60/15 on the back. They fit and i haven't had any rubbing, but I would say it's a tight fit. I believe the backspacing is either 4.25 or 4.5 I can't remember

I have 15x8's with 275/60/15's on my 70 Cuda right now with 4.25 bs. They rub the wheel wells unless I have the air shocks jacked up (which I hate) I am looking to put Cragar SS's on it as well. I'm looking at the 4.75 bs wheels. I have about an inch of clearance to the leaf spring on the inside I feel like they will fit better. I'd like to know if anyone else is running the same wheels too ?

I WISH WHEN YOU ASK A DIRECT QUESTION YOU WOULD GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER. IF YOU DON'T KNOW DON'T COMMENT."I THINK" DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. JUST HE FACTS PLEASE!!
