Bought this car from chargerboy69 (tim) and going to start in with a few things. I think the red stripe will come off and be flat black, new wheels, new gauges and some other small things. Here are some pics I took yesterday. Feel free to take them..(some people PM me and ask me if they can). Here is my 2 year old and she loves her new car..lol.

Nice score! What are the wheel and tire sizes in the back and was there any modifications to the wheel housings to allow the rear to sit as low as it does?

I am pretty sure the wheel are 10" wide in the back and 8" up front. I dont think any mods were done to the wheel wells.

The rears are 18X9.5 with a 5.5" backspace. The tires are Falken 275 40 18's. There was no modifictions to the wheel wells. Just lowered the rear 1 1/2" with lowering blocks.

Mark she looks sweet.  :2thumbs:

Looks awesome, red stripe is cool,  like the lowered look,    what about some wider back tires, little taller, sit the stance perfect then   :icon_smile_wink:      :2thumbs:


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

That car is super sweet looking,  and the stripe and rims,    :drool5:  when I said maybe some wider and taller back wheels, I meant the tires only when I said "taller",  I like the lowered look of the car a lot, wouldn't raise the suspension at all, but some bigger back tires might be cool looking, I don't know
