15x6.5" Rallye's on an A-body

[jos51700]

I have a set of factory 15x 6.5" Rallye wheels. Does anyone have any pics of these installed on a late-A? My car is a '72 Dart, if it matters. I'm looking at tire sizes and wanted to see what these look like. If I don't like these, I'll either get Jeep wheels or some Torq-Thrusts in 17"

It's a little roomier in the rear wheel well than the Dart, but here is my 1973 Twister with 15" x 6.5" with 255/60-15 rear tires and 235/60-15 front tires:

Here is the same car in 1986 with 15"x 7" with 275/60-15 rear tires and 245/60-15 front tires:

I've owned this one since 1981. It originally came with 14" Rallye wheels.

Did you convert your bolt circle?
Factory 15" rallye wheels are 5 x 4.5", your car (if still factory) is 5 x 4".

I have 14x6 on the front and 15x7 on the rear with 255/60-15's.

Yes. Moser BBP axles in the rear, and '74 Valiant bouncy bits in the front.

The tires, color, and stance don't impress me.
But those mud flaps....

15x6 Chrysler wheels on a 67 Dart. I would say 15x6.5 would be no problem.

I've looked at this post a few times, and although I am in a Dart, I like the lines of the slightly narrower tires better. Plus, all my stuff is wore out, so it's not like I need traction. Thanks for posting the before n' after!!

I have original E Body 15x6.5 with 215-60-15 on the front of the Dart Sport. Aftermarket 15x8 rallies on back 275-60-15 drag radials

I ran them in the rear of my 73 Duster and they looked about like post 2.
I only have one pic and it's small.

I currently have them on the rear of my 73 Satellite.

The hardest thing about the 6.5 is finding trim rings.
15x7 Mopar rings don't fit.

 

[340six]

Fronts are good hight but may do same diameter but 70s over 215/60/15 on E Body 15x6.5 with good used trim rings. When I get new tires. Backs are slightly larger than 275/60/15
