Ok,

So have decided I want these rims.

https://m.summitracing.com/search/product-line/american-racing-ar62-silver-outlaw-ii-wheels

I think I would like 15" on all four I believe (right now there is 14" on the front and 15" on the rear). In general people usually go the same size all the way around?

I just don't know how to determine the width or bolt pattern.

I want the biggest tires on back as possible and thinner ones up front.

Any help would be great.
 
Most people use the same size wheel on all 4 corners. Some, like the old school big and little look with 14's up front and 15's at the rear.
15's have a wider selection of rubber to choose from. Figure out your bolt pattern. 5X4 or 5X4-1/2.
Tire sizes and widths can be found in another thread in this "Wheel and tire forum."
I myself have 275- 60 - 15's on a 4 inch (or less) back spacing on my '71 Duster.

Back spacing is 4 inch or less and probably slightly less.

Your car, none of my business but i would leave the stock wheels on over those outlaw wheels. 15x8 with a 4.5" backspace with a 275/60/15 will clear and fit the wheel well nice with no issues on the the rear. Front go 15x6 with a 207/70/15 i have that combo on my 71 duster.
 
Can you post a Pic if what that looks like??

The plan is factory wheels and dog dish caps and trim rings.[/QUOTE]
 
After looking at Rumble fish's car you will need more than 4" backspacing on the rear. Best thing to do is measure.

15's all the way around if the choice is between 14's or 15's.

No offense but those wheels are ca-ca.
 
Ca-ca!!?? Hahaha
I am brand new to this game!
I liked them at first glance.
Why are they bad?
Give me some examples of good ones!
Thanks!!

My wheels or his.
If mine, I agree!
LMAO
 
Lets start here.

What is the bolt pattern on your car?

It is either 5 on 4" or it is 5 on 4.5".

Now if it's the small bolt pattern the wheels you like aren't even an option. They only come in 5x4.5"

If we know that it will focus your options.
 
And my suggestions if you were a friend or customer of mine would be..

Here is how you measure the bolt pattern

I ran draglites once upon a time.

It seems from what I can tell that you like the circular hole style wheels? THey work ok on your car because your car is rounder compared to a Dart or valiant.

Below is a picture of Draglites on my old car.

Below that is a picture of Draglites in black.. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: love these...
