Hi
I just got my 72 rr

I want to put the magnum 500 rims , but whenever I check the compatabiliy, it tells me that it isn't
I want the 17 inch rims on the front and deep dishes on the rear. What size rims can I get ? I've heard that 15x7 for the front and 15x8 on the rear, but will it rub or will it fit?? Please help
ALSO, WHERE CAN I GET THE MAGNUM 500 rims
Please help ASAP

There are lots of suppliers of Magnum 500s. I got mine about 6 years ago from Wheel Vintiques (IIRC).

Good luck.

15x7 & 15x8 will work fine. most people run 235/60 tires on front and 255/60 on back with 15" rims and have no issues. you can also run 17" rims like you want and a lower profile tire to offset the 2" bigger wheel and again have no problems. if you are wanting to use a custom offset on the wheel to make the deep dish look you can find a lot of advise on the web about how and what to measure then you will need to put your car on jack stands and do the measuring to come up with the look you want for your car.

I believe Wheel Vintiques was recently bought out by Coker Tire!?
