Got my new wheels today!, pic´s

[NorwayCharger]

Boyd JYD wheels with Nitto 555

18x10 with 4,5" backspace. 295,45,18
17x8 with 4,5"-----"-------. 245,45,17
No rubbing, perfect fit.
I modified the wheelwels, staighted the little "hump" on the outside of the wheelwels.
Also have discbrakes in the rear, so if you want to be sure you take 5" backspace in the rear   

[Blown70]

OHH THAT IS GREAT... LOOKS PERFECT

I used the WWK-21 kit,  you have to do some welding..

[Silver R/T]

love the custom work youre putting into it

[Charger4404spd]

Looks great, those wheels are really nice!

[golden73]

Man I love those wheels! Cant wait 'til my car is done so I can sport the same set 

[TruckDriver]

I will be the first one on the site that will say I HATE wheels over 15". Some people here already know that. BUT, you know what, I really like that looks of those! They look GREAT!

U feeling ok.  you know those rears are 18" right

[ChargerHound69]

I love the wiring you got hidden on the side there.  The wiper motor is an excellent idea.  Your car is with out a dought going to be top of the line.  I would like to see it in person just to see all the detail you truly have in this car. 

Keep up the good work, and keep the pictures comming.

[Bandit72]

sorry, not my cup of tea...i must be the only one that can't stand the looks of big rims, i think muscle cars NEED 15 " steel rims, or slotted mags or something like that with LOTS OF MEAT!!! o well, too each there own

I'm also looking into the JYD's. Have you altered your chassis/suspension or are you stock(I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out how wide I can go w/wheels)? Thanks.

[firefighter3931]

Very Nice ! 

Ron

[bull]

Holy cow! You are really going all-out on this thing aren't you? Everything looks perfect. That silver really brings out the body lines. Oh yea, the wheels, they look great too.

[4402tuff4u]

That's going to be some awesome Charger when it's done! Love that silver paint.  Are you planning on a striped tail?

[runningman]

Looks sweet, that is what I am going to get for mine as well.  What was the total on them?  If you don't mind me asking.  Thanks  Matt

[doctorpimp]

Your car is going to be beautiful!

[Silver R/T]

Gunmetal wheels would look best on that charger IMO

[Sendero]

Let's face it..Any wheel would look great on THAT Charger.

[CFMopar]

That looks great. I wish i went with 17 or 18s now

DUDE 3 THUMBS UP ON THE CHARGER! IT LOOKS FLIPPIN SWEET!                                                 

[Blakcharger440]

Hey Norway Charger could you measure how close your tires are to the leaf springs on the passenger and driver side?

And the only modification you made was to the hump on the outside of the wheel well?
No spring re-location?

[Ricardo]

Very nice!!!

Hi Blackharger..
The only modi did was that hump.
There is 2" on the left side, and 2 1/8" on the right. ( clerance from the tire to the leafspring )

[NorwayCharger]

VERY COOL. I dig the chrome style paint job...what is that, a light A6 Silver?

Thanks

The color is a Lexus color ...1F2 premium silver

[Chryco Psycho]

Very Nice !!

[keithcuda]

Gee Norway, How much weight did you add with that Dynamat? I might do that too. I was looking at getting the 18inTorque Thrust II's with gForce KDW2 from NewStalgiaWheeles.

What was the shipping cost to get to Europe? I'm in the Jersey, United Kingdom.

Hope to see you at the Euro Nationals, we get a few guys from Germany and France every year.

What king of welding mods did you have to do to get the Wiper motor in. It would seem your option is better and cheaper than buying new original one.

I added aprox 40 pounds of weight with the dynamats, but the again i have redused more than 300 pounds on the frontend, heater/blower unit, brakes,engine etc...
As u can see on the wiper system, there is some welding and modification.
If u are used to handle a welder there is no big deal, just some planning...
I paid almost $500 ( air )for shipping my wheels/tires, but u can get it as low as $100 with a cargo boat

[Silver R/T]

what tires are those

[Blakcharger440]

Thanks Norway! The reason why I asked is that on the interior of your car your wheel house is a differnet
color that the rest of the interior metal which is silver

[keithcuda]

Thanks Norway,

Definately going for the wiper mod as the charger i bought off the salvagers has a burned out engine bay. The wiper motor i think is toast (excuse the pun)

[NorwayCharger]

what tires are those

The tires is Nitto 555.

[NorwayCharger]

Thanks Norway! The reason why I asked is that on the interior of your car your wheel house is a differnet

I did paint the inner wheel house, but i sprayed a thick coating with black rubber(PVC).
On the interior i used dynamat + 1" of some fomemat.

[TripleBlackGator]

I would like to ask why you went with 18's out back and 17's up front, Is it just for the stance? (A little ass up rake?)  28" height for 295/45 and 26" height for 245/45 right? I see more and more people going and inch bigger in the rear and wonder if it is just for the stance. Rule of thumb says same diameter all around for best handling unless your not concerned so much with that as looks and straight line performance. I have been undecided between the Boyd JYD's and the Torq Thrust 2's (Newstalgia of course). I like the fact that the T2's come in 11" wide rim with 5.5" backspacing but after seeing your car and wheels mounted I may go with the JYD's. Too bad the JYD's don't come in an 11" with 5.5" backspace so you could fit even wider rubber out back. Your leaf spring clearance of 2" is the same as my 70. You should be able to go with an 11" and still have clearance. Unless you really start pulling some G's and the flex of the sidewall comes into play. Anyway. Great looking car and can't wait to see it all finished. 

[cs137]

Very, Very nice. Love that color silver. Cant wait to see that done.

For me it was the stance and the fact that i think the charger need some rubber in the back, and i have a manual rack/pinion steering.
You have right about the 11" in the rear, but i think it is enough with 10".

Thanks for the kind words

[Mopar2Ya]

Norway, silly Question: Where is the hump you straightened for tire clearence? Front or rear? Any pics of the hump mod? Any pics of clearence up front? Newstalgia said they would gaurantee fitment of any wheel wider than 7" in front & 9" in rear. Did you have this experience? If not, who was your sales rep? Thanks.

[SuBLimE 69]

Norway Charger,

I have almost the exact same wheel size set up on my car:

18x10 with 50" backspace in the rear 275/35/18 junk tires
17x8 with 4,5" bakcspace in the front with 245/45/17 Mich. Pilots

I was about to mount some drag radials on the back but was looking at the 305/45/18.  Do you think they will fit if I shave that hump off ?  Or would you just run a 295 ?  figured I'd ask since you have basicly the same set up. 

Thanks, Doug

Hi.
I don´t have good pic´s of the hump, but i have this two
The reason for "bumping the hump" is that i have my car lowered 3" and i don´t want it to rub.
Distance from fender lipp and up to the hump is 2"- 3".
You have 1/2" more backspace on the rear, i think you´ll be fine.
I have 1/2 clearance from the tire to the fender lipp.

[4402tuff4u]

Hey NorwayCharger, I see from your photo above that you installed rail connectors. Did you ever figure out how you are going to run the brake lines and fuel lines around the connectors? Are you going to follow the "stock/factory" path or are you just re-routing the lines to fit the best. Sorry that it's a bit out of subject, but just curious. Thanks, Mike.

I am going to follow the factory route +some drilling, no big problem i think
I may be using the torsion bar hole, since i have the AtlerKtion frontend.

[4402tuff4u]

The reason I asked is because I took the new brake and fuel stainless steel lines out of the box and saw all these bends on them. I'm going to have to fit them around the rail connectors that only give me approx. 1" of space between the rail and the floor pan. Your connectors appear to touch the floor pans, right? It should be interesting. I'm going to get into this work in the next few weeks. We'll see how it goes.

[SuBLimE 69]

Thanks,   I'd love to see more pics as she comes along !  Please keep us updated.  When I get Pics of the 305 in the rear I'll post'em up and send you a PM !

[Aussiemadonmopars]

I did the wheelhouse hump mod on mine. Here's a pic. I had to do some homework to make sure the quarter window winder still worked.

[TripleBlackGator]

My 70 is original and I don't want to modify the rear wheelwell. The 295/18 is a 28.5" tall tire. I know the hump your talking about and was wondering if it's the height of the 295 that would come close to the hump and not it's width with a 4.5 back space wheel. I was thinking of going with P285/40 ZR17  in the rear along with the same tire up front that you are using but I'm concerned with the sidewall difference between front and rear. I know your car is lowered and the reason for the hump removal. I guess my question is can I use the 295/18 w/o hump removal and a 4.5" backspaced wheel? Do I really need a 5" backspace? I don't want the rear tires to look more narrow than the front.     

[Ryan]

Damn that looks killer. I usually never cared for big rim mopars, but that looks good. I think its because unlike moast people you chose a tire that has lots of side wall. Sports cars should have small sidewalls, muscle cars need sidewall to look good and you did a good job on that.

[Aussiemadonmopars]

I did a test fit after I got the wheel arch in. I got a 29.5 x 12.5 on a 15 inch wheel and it fit snug, could probably go taller too and wider but thats what I had on hand at the time.
