I'll start. Feel free to add to the data base with your own measurements.

I had my spare OE wheel (and tire) on for the last two days. I took it off today and before I put it back in the trunk, I measured the back-set at 3". I also measured the back-set on the 85 Dodge Diplomat 15" x 7" on 5 x 4.5" bolt circle cop-car wheels that I am running at the moment (for the last 3 years). They measure 4". This will be important if I go for American Racing TorqueThrusts next year.

The stock wheels are 56 Dodge D500 wheels. They are 5.5" across the bead which makes sense for a 56 D63 Dodge with 12" (Windsor) brakes according to the parts manual.

Totally forgot about this thread until Dels56 posted a diagram of his 56 Dodge Custom Royal wheel dimensions (see below).

I also sometime ago took some measurements of my stock 56 D500 wheels and never posted them in this (my thread!!). What an idiot

Looks like the 56 D500 (really 56 Windsor) back-set was 3.75" on a nominal 5.5" wide wheel.
