What is the best 500 magnum wheel and tyre combination on a 1969 Dodge Coronet ie b f Goodrich tyres and width front and rear?

Are you looking to increase rim size to 15inch or even go to bigger rims like Wheels Vintique in the Magnum style, or keeping stock size 14" rim?

Sorry for not replying earlier the car is in storage so when I get too storage I will let you know. I want to make the rear wider without changing body work Thanks Matt

Yes Matt I hope to go go for 15in magnums. What is the most common size I want to keep the car with a level stance but filling the arches Thanks Pat

I'd send Derek a 'pm' and ask what he has on his 68 Charger.
His 15" Magnums fill the arches nicely and look to have the all-important correct offset:

Cheers Stu. I have 8x15 with 275 x 60 x 15 tyre on the rear and 7x15 with 235 x 60 x15 tyres on the front, hope this helps

Thanks for the information appreciated Thanks Pat

wow 275's on the back!
you'll need to get the correct backspacing to avoid them rubbing the arches.

Thanks for pointing that out. That's another thing I hadn't allowed for I presumed all the B body's were the same and it wouldn't be a problem. Thanks everyone

275/60 on 15x8 will go under the back of a 69/70 Coronet with plenty of room to spare if the wheels have zero offset (i.e. 4" backspace).

235/60x15 on the front will give you a slight rake, though you can always adjust the ride height with the torsion bars. If you want a level stance, a better starting point is 225/70x15, which are almost the same height as 275/60x15. The taller tyres also avoid the problem of a vertical gap between tyre and wheel arch (a pet hate for me!).

That's what I went with: 275/60 on 15x8 rear, 225/70 on 15x7 front...

Thanks Adam For another option
