I have had many over the years, BUT, I have none now.so looking for some, found 4. I have a guy that has 2 pair, looking at pics he sent me, 2 different backspaces. will all work on duster with oem disc setup and rear of 81/4.
I can't say what the backspace is but Ma Mopar probably only had 2 with the 15 x 7 rim.
 
Oem 4"?
Aftermarket are normally 4"
 
I don't have the computer ability to show the pics he sent, but the center between the lug holes have a very small hole between them. I figure later year wheels then the others, which look like the ones I remember from the 60's early 70;s.
 
Factory wheel 15x5.75....did she make a 7"?

Dunno

I thought the 15x7s were only aftermarket.

Mine are factory steel wheels. The squad wheels are also 4"
 
My 15 x 7" are oem Chrysler stamped with date 4.25" back space, they are dated 1985 off a 5th ave.

A also have a few of the narrow ones, from what I remember they measure about the same as post #7 mine came off a w150 trucks.
 
yes I know some 15 x 7 came off stuff like 5 th Ave, D150. seems like if I remember my M code Runner came with 15 x 6 or 1/2.... looks like found a set if cop wheels, $100. I like the 15 inch wheels, I can't get into the big wheel/rubber band tire d eal...

I'm with you. I don't like the rubber band tires either. My 70 Cuda came stock with 15 x 7's.
 
15X10s on back and15 x 6s up front...front tire is a little tall, and kinda looks moon patrol but I'll get through paint before changing. A little off track sorry but not oem wheels, but with 3.25 backspacing from wheel vintiques....i think.

Yeah some are cool with the tall rims...but I like the old school 14s and 15s.

if the silver rally wheels, after '74 they were 15x6.5" if you care, ask for photos of each wheel with tape showing measurements. Both look great on '70- Mopars!
 
I am thinking all 15 inch rims will work with front disc brakes. I sold bought all my spare parts before I movd to S Tx last fal, so I am buding my stock back up some! found set of cop wheels and the set of 7's steel rims, have a bud back home with some more. I like having choice of wheels to go on my rides!! ha
and for $100 a pop I can't beat the am racing thorq thrust D's.....for mags

I have the Kelsey Hayes front discs and the 14" rallys I have clear.
 
Factory steel wheels , starting in about 67-68 time period , used a 9 inch dogdish cap.
Wheel sizes 15 x 5 , 15 x 5.5 , 15 x 6 , 15 x 6.5 , 15 x 7 and 15 x 8 . Backspace varies depending upon the size rim shell. 15 x 7 wheels were 4 1/4 backspace , 15 x 8 wheels were 4 1/4 backspace. Cop wheels ( 15 x 7 ) only size made , were 4 1/4.
This is measured all the way to the back edge of the wheel. Width is measured bead seat to bead seat. A lot of the wheels are stamped on the inside of the band , but many are not.

What I usually tell people that say " Hey I have this wheel or that wheel and it is like this" I say show me the wheel in person , that will convince me. Been there , done that...
