I have a 1968 coupe and I want to put some torque thrust D rims on it. I need to know if anyone Knows what is the max siz rim I can use without getting any rubbing or modifying the body. I wanted to go with 16 inch rims, unless someone has a suggestion. THanks
By the way, Im new here. Nice to read you all.

Check out Dodgestang's Wheel and Tire Chart in the link below. It's the best source for wheel and tire fitment in early models.

16X8 with a 4 1/2" backspacing works.
Not sure about 17" sizes

Backspace?

Im sorry I am not familiar with the backspace terminology. What does that mean exactly.

The tires I want only have a 4 inch backspace for the 16x8s. They are the torque thrust D. Does anyone know if I can use those or I need to have the 4.5 inch BS? Do they make a 4.5 in the D's?
