I picked up an original set of 15x7 2944450 steel wheels reasonably priced. I've always loved the simple aggressive look these have on a 70 Challenger. Especially on Hemi cars.  My 70 Challenger R/T 440 has its original 14x5.5 code W23 Road Wheels. Although I strive to keep the car original I want to change the look of the car in a way that can easily be undone. Any issues with the 15x7 wheels fitting on my car that has 11" drum brakes all around?

I've been considering doing the same on my '71 Challenger.
Mine is also a W23 road wheel car (had 14" Rallye's on it when I bought it).
Love to see before and after pictures once you get them mounted up.

Hard to beat the look of steeliness.  I dabbled with 450s for a few years but switched backed to Rallyes this summer.  Original Rallye wheel car.

@Floyd  Totally sinister. Love the look with either.

@schlett7nu1 Are you going body color (OEM correct for 70) or black on yours?

I'm not sure on the color. Body color would be correct. I'm in Hartland. Likely not far from you. We should hook up at Jefferson or another local show once this virus gets under control.

Not too far. About 15 minutes away in Oconomowoc.

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes relatively simple appearance changes can help rekindle the love affair after many years.
