71 Duster 340 wheel fit

[kickingpaw]

Looking for advice.
I have a 1971 Duster 340 no modifications.
Car is factory spec with drum brakes.
Thoughts on swapping out my 14x5.5 small bolt Rallye wheels for
Wheel Vintiques Chrysler 15x6 steel wheels with 3.75 back space.

I’m a Cragar S/S guy. Look so right on Dusters.

I'm leaning in the "Crager" direction.

They will fit just fine. If you’re buying new you may want to consider 7 or 8" for the rear and run a staggered set up. The rear backspacing is to about 4.5” maximum.

I just wasn't sure if the 15-inch rims would be too large.
I appreciate your advice.

Thanks for the compliments. Tried to take it out last week and the Holley decided to **** itself. Secondary float sticking. Kept spraying fuel even when car was off. Gonna pull it this weekend. Now I have to change the oil also. Ahh, the joys of owning an old car!

Nice car. Would it be F7 green ??
Look similar to something I have. Lol.
I'm running 15x7 vintique rally with 255x60 rear and 235x60 up front. No issues. Can't recall the backspace at the moment but the inch and half extra width is added to the backspace. No issues using the factory beauty rings.

Frankly, considering how few choices there are left

I'm leaning in the "Crager" direction.

for 5 on 4, and how sketchy the supply, I'd take just about any sbp wheels I could find, if I had to have something other than the rallys you have.
Fortunately, I've got 3 pairs of sbp centerlines for my 67 notch.

Oh, and 15s will be fine, as long as you use a reasonable sized tire. (Read: not to tall in front).
Cragars will look great on a black car, always have.

It’s not quite the factory color. I think it’s supposed to be F8

Moparker, what are your tire sizes on those cragar S/S? Love that staggered set up. Looks great on your car. That is the stance I'm looking for as well.
