Well the best I can tell the R/T wheels have 6" b.s. and by the difference
swaping my stock 15" to 17" wheels with 5"b.s. I'd say the stock 15s are 5.5 to
5.75 B.S.

12.5 tire thought? I measured 1.5" clearance on the front tire edge to upper
arm clearance with 275 tires and 5" b.s..

Maybe those #'s will help you.
