i was in their site and they offer a 15x7 with a 4.25 back spacing and a 15x6 with a 4in backspacing i plan on running a 245x60 15 in the back and don't know yet what size for the front will these fit with out any problems it will be 4.5 lug pattern both front and back going on a 1970 dart thanks
 
FWIW, I run 15x7s w/ 4¼ back space on both 4½" bolt pattern cars with no problems. The Dart has 205/60 tires, while the Demon has 235/60s. I tried 255/60s on the Demon but did not have enough room without some surgery front or rear.

You may want to look at this thread to see what others are running, and what mods they needed to do to make it work.

Those should fit up nice, no problem. Your limiting factor is tire height in the front...I'm running a 205/65/15 front, that's about 25.5" tall...you could go about 26" tall in front but beyond that you may run into clearance issues. 4" backspacing in the front will push the tire about 1/2" more than mine, my wheels are 15x6 and 4.5" backspacing fronts, and I wish they were pushed out a little more so you should be good!

For reference a 245/60/15 tire is 26.6" tall. I'm running a 235/60/15 MT Drag Radial and it's 26.1" tall. It works well with the 205/65/15 fronts, but I'd probably opt for a MT 26/7.50/15 front and 255/60/15 MT Drag Radial rear (27") if I had to do it again...but the 235's came with the car so I'll replace 'em eventually.

thanks that is a nice car / i forgot to mention that i will be using 11x2.5 in ebody brakes and moser axles i believe it will push the wheel out some towards the quarter panel
 
i just ordered the 15x6 with the 4in back spacing for the front holding off on the rear until i talk to someone there / seems they offer a 15x7 with a 4.5 backspacing which is what i think will be better suited to my car
 
too much for the wheels and way too much for shipping partly my fault / i got the ones for the back 15x7 4.250 back spacing for 90 each plus 11.99 for shipping and handling FROM SUMMIT wheel vintiques charged me 117 per wheel plus 60.00 to ship in addition to that they would not take a credit card or paypal for the back too which was gonna be a custom build according to them i wanted a 4.5 back spacing / NOW HERE IS WHAT REALLY GUALS MY REAR I TOLD THE GUY I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY DEPLOYED AND A MONEY ODER WAS NOT SOMETHING I COULD DO HIS REPLY WAS IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU ARE OUT OF THE UNITED STATES I SAID I GUESS YOU DON'T NEED MY BUSINESS THEN DO YOU ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM!!!!
 
I have the WV 15x7 Ralley wheels with 215/60-15's on the front and 15x8's with 4.5" of back spacing on the back with 255/60-15's.

More back spacing on the front would have allowed me to go to a 225/60 tire. I originally got the 225/60's but they touch the front edge of the fender well when the tire is turned in. Even a 4.5" back spaced wheel would have moved the tire in enough to easily clear.

I have about 1/2" of clearance between the spring and the tire side wall in the back. If I could have gotten the 15x8' with less back spacing it would have better centered the wheel in the wheel well and would have allowed for a bigger tire.

Not to butt in but you should check the prices for MOPAR rallys at MoParts Parts and Supplies. They offer the best pricing on new genuine wheels I'm aware of. IMO 75Sport
 
I'm running the 15x7s with 255/60/15 MTs, there 27" tall, they still fit, a bit tight but they fit & don't rub underneath a 71 swinger with stock suspention.
 
if it helps i have 2 15x8 mopar ralley wheels...4.5 back spacing 4.5 bolt pattern 160 for both plus shipping ups
