Ok so good news and bad.
Good news first- picked up the wheels and caps for 120 (gave him 60 for wheels because I'm to lazy to get change before going).
Good news- love the look of these wheels and caps best .
Bad news- I'm an idiot and these aren't cop car wheels, just regular steel wheels. (Luckily I like them better than cop wheels)

Skinny, between 6-7in. I'm not home right now, I'll measure when I get back. But if I remember correctly from yesterday they were closer to 6

I think the Police wheels are a -6mm or ~4.25" back spacing.

What size? Backspacing?
sounds about right, haven't had a set for years

That is pretty funny! When I was picking my wheels for my 71 Barracuda, I thought about the Ford wheel like the Cobras had. They look really good. I ended up going with minilites instead.
I think it will look alright 
I'm going to have to find some of those redline caps!
Yep 5' rim
your going to need fender flares
your going to need fender flares
Why? Lol
Touche

I do however think I will have to find a wider Steelie for the rear or have 2 of these widened .
Just don't put these on it and you'll be ok.
Beans and franks.

My1970 dart has 15x7 steelies with 255/60/15 the back, they would go well with the 15x5 1/2 you have on the front. I got them from Wheel Vintiqes, Oh and they are 5 1/4 back space. Jeff
How hard are original 15x7s to find? (Besides new)
Also did they come with those redlines? They look horrible with the blue, you should send them to me I'll pm my address right over

I don't know how hard it is to find original rims. Yes I know the blue sucks, I'm going to paint it Barbie pink soon, LOL. I had the red lines, they don't come with the rims.

Those are my FAV! Was going to use them as my drag wheels. I think they originally came on a chevy
My daughter would love for me to paint the dart pink. Maybe for the next project we will do pink, unless my son wants a different color.
