Thanks mostly to the threads in the wheels/tires/suspension section I ordered a set of Centerline Softails, and they finally got in this week.  They're unbelievably light!  Probably lighter than my 15" Cragars.  17x7 up front with zero offset (4"BS I think?) and 18x9.5 with 5" BS.  I'll update with more pics after the tires are mounted!

Man. I really, really like those wheels. I'm sure they'll look great on the Charger!  :yesnod:

If you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay for all 4?

It's alive!! After sorting out a headlight ground and adjusting a stuck parking brake, we took it out for a tire-smoking spin around town at 11 pm!  It was lightning-ing like crazy!  It had poured earlier but we didn't hit any rain, but what a light show  :2thumbs:  The new shoes ride great!  No rubs in the back!  Haven't done a lock-to-lock yet but I have a feeling it'll be fine.  Here are some pics..it's still FILTHY from the work on the 1/4

I'm definitely planning on it, as long as the car decides it wants to too...Last night was only the 2nd time it's been driven in a year and 3 months.  Oh thanks for the offer for us to stay over too, that was nice but I think we'll pass.I love the smell of mopars in the morning :drool5: :popcrn:

Hey guys, thanks for the compliments.  The wheels are centerlines, but I agree, they look like modern keystones :2thumbs:  The ford is a '57, don't remember the model, but it's all original, original owner, original paint, interior, etc.  He bought it the year he graduated high school, and brings it to every class reunion :cheers:

Wow......... That is a true "survivor"  I often wonder if I'll even make it to 50 let alone keep a car that long....especially in original condition!

Nice wheels on a nice Charger. You didn't mention tire sizes though. What might they be?
I have a soft spot for green Chargers with black vinyl tops and black interiors. I had a '69 in high school with that combo. Speaking of a '69....... is that a '69 tail panel and taillights?

The tires are 235/45/17s and 295/45/18s, Nitto NT555s.  The tailpanel is actually my stock '70, I just took the '70 trim off and put some '69 trim on the taillights.  I'm debating whether or not to buy the '69 trim that goes around the panel itself ($$$).  The reason I switched it is because I love the '69 tail panels.  The '70 trim reminds me of eyeglasses from the '70s with that straight connector piece over the bridge :shruggy:

The lower 1/4 was rotted away and the entire panel had been replaced in the '80s then bondo'd over with what must've been a gallon of bondo.  It's part of my slow plan to return the car to all metal :eek2: :lol:  The trunk just happens to match because I just bought it at carlisle.  Much nicer than my old one.
