70 bee v code six pac car

Putting car back on road after 30 years of darkness.
Any recomendations on wheel and tire sizes?
Thinking factory was g7014. Think I want to put black 14x6 steel rims with white letter radial.
Any suggestions on finding rims? Thanks for any suggestions.

Boy, don' 'no...... but it's gonna be hard getting enough traction with something that big, heavy and that kind of power. I believe 15" was an option on them, but not sure. On my own car, bought from original owner "back then" from a friend, it had G60-X15 on the rear, and even those were nowhere near enough.

Fronts on mine were F70X 14

I agree , Factory was 14 with optional 15 " wheels , tire technology has come a long way , there really are very few good 14 " tires available not a lot of 15" either !! I would look at 15 x 7" minimum or a 15 x 8" & use a Nitto 295 /50 /15 Dot drag radial or similar , not a fan of BFGarbage tires

Found some nitto 275/50/15's. Model 555r for 180 a piece. What would you reccomend for the front? Any input on heat cycling process? Are those 50's really going to fit under them wheel wells on rear? I really appreciate guidance so far. Putting this car back on road then going to enjoy it for a week or so and putting it up for sale. Taking offers.

That body style has the biggest wheel well sof virtually any Mopar , I put a 11.5 X 29.5" slick under the rear of the Charger with lots of room , you just have to have a correct offset on the wheel to center it. For the front most people use the readily available 235 60 15 , Cooper Cobra maybe , I think Yokohama makes that size , Good Year maybe , I would just avoid BFG .
Check on Discount Tire Direct site they seem to have the lowest pricing
