18x8 wheels with 255/45-18 tires.  Backspacing is 4.5" in front, with 5" in the rear...

I have 255/60-15's on riding on 15x8 wheels on all four corners. I do have a slight rubbing issue when turning full. Im going to replace the front wheels with 15x7 and a comparable tire height size to the rear.  :2thumbs:

Beautiful!!! I know some others are running 255s up front without issue. Could it just be a backspacing issue that could be fixed with a spacer? I was also looking at tires, and there's no less narrow tire that gives exactly the same height (i.e. it will create a slight rake).

Thank You for the nice compliments.  I know a front tire wont have the exact height as the rear, but I can get close. I think I can do a 225/65 or 225/70 will be close...

I agree!  That car looks great and I love the stance!  A very, very good looking charger.  Do I see a front air dam on there?

Thank You very much for the kind words, and yes, I did put on a 69 Camaro spoiler. I like it!  :2thumbs: :coolgleamA: :cheers:

Seing that, and 69Chargerboy's pics makes me think 235-245-255 for all 4 may be what i want if i go for 15s.

Yeah, you have to be careful when choosing the 'Right' tire/wheel combo. The ones I picked are ok, but I could of done better, I wanted something inexpensive that would look good. I really wanted 18" billet magnum 500s, but my budget would of held me back a bit longer from getting the car on the road sooner.... Oh well. You need a nice combo to fill the rear wheel wells on the Charger. There is a lot of room for rubber back there.....  :Twocents:

Its not that i have anything against wide tires or a rake created by different sizes, but i really like the clean, classy look of "moderate" size tires that keep the car sitting level.

 I have 255 x 60 x 15  tires  on 15 x 8 inch  wheels with  4" back space on all four corners , front is close with full suspension compression & turning from hard right to left , but no rubbing on mine  , even drove it over ruff ground & up & down slopes with different  cambers  etc with the torsion bars un wound , & suspension resting on the lower bump stops . what I did do for a extra margin of safety because i'm nuts like that , made a pair of spacers to fit under the lower bump stops , like the 69 & a half A12 cars have .

I know these wheel/tire combinations on my Charger are about an inch taller than the factory models but .... they fit great and look amazing in person.

The fronts are 15x7" wheels with 225x70x15 B F Goodrich Radial T/A's at 27.4" tall and the rear is 15x8" with 275x60x15 Nitto Extreme Drag Radials at 27.76" tall.  Close enough to the same height for me and my Charger was aligned with them on. No rubbing issues front or rear and a pretty level ride height with a very slight rake!
