I'll be first. 15x8's won't fit on the rear without trimming or fender lip rolling. One side is usually closer than the other. 15x7 with a 4-4 1/2 back space. You may be able to run 7's on the front or may be not. I have 255-60's on the rear. 205-70/14's on 14x6's on the front.

I'm running 15" X 7" (with 4 1/4" backspace) WheelVintiques Rallyes with 245/60R15 (I have room for 255/60R15s (next time)) on the rear of my '71 Dart GT. It has the factory installed 8 3/4" rear end, but the previous owner installed ManciniRacing 2800lb rear springs (stock location). The fronts are factory 14" X 5 1/2" Rallyes with 195/75R14 tires.
Hey Mike ,
The 8s will fit if the rear is more narrow,,,correct ?
I’m going with a slightly narrow rear,,,,,about a 1 1/2 inches.

I would wonder about cop car wheels. Run poverty caps, or bullet hole cop caps.

Very similar to what I did to Charlie/72 swinger. I did the 15x8s with 4 5/8 backspace on rear and had to roll fender lips and 35 lbs. in the Hi-Jackers
. Wheel Vintiques is very limited on their selections now. Just a year or so ago it was "Order whatever ya want! We'll handle it!" Not so much that way anymore
