It has 15x8 Magnum 500s on it right now and I want a different look for a while. What do you think.

The tires for the rear are 285/40/17, I was gonna run 255/45/17 on the front, 17x8 wheels all around with 4" back spacing. The rear tires are a little shorter than i would like and i was actually thinking of running 255/50 on the rear do you have any pics of yours with wheels on.

nice! what tires are you running?  (how much did they cost, too?)
when racing deals fall apart.....you go home, like me.

terrible one

That looks good man. 17's are probably the furthest I would ever go in wheel diameter for my Charger.

I'll dare to be different.  They look ok but those 500's with the raised white letters look better.

I agree with Mike.  The 500's look better.  When I look at the picture of the car - my eyes focus on the rear rims and tires rather than on the car.  I think they take the focus away from the car rather than adding to the beauty of it like the 500's and raised white letter. - my opinion.

You are right. It seems like every Camaro or 57 Chevy has those on them right now. They are a nice wheel. . . . They look great on your car.

A lot of people do like the Magnum 500s and I do plan on keeping them. I got a great deal on the Torq Thrust so I'm gonna run them for a while and see how I like them.

well ill say they look better than 18s , or 22s would..i kinda prefer 15s with 60s myself. leave the 17s with rubber bands for the ricers imo. i guess that at my ripe old age of 33 , having ben involved with and interested in hot rods and muscle cars for nearly 25 years already i just cant get out of the 1980s.

Blown70

Well I like them both,  I suggest as you are going to keep the Magnums  Change them when you wish. 

I like the car either way.

Very sharp looking!! I like them.  :2thumbs:
I have to wait awhile for that treat. Baer disk brakes first! If you dont mind what would a four wheel set up run you?

Run 50's on the rear. 255s or 275s. That eliminates the "rubber band" look as well as filling the wheel opening better.

Pictured is my car with 275-50-17 rear, and 255-50-17 front.
