so i havent been on here in awhile  but i am approaching the point where  i will be able to pick up my charger and one of the first things  if not already done will be suspension set up.

Now   i am a big fan of the fat tire slightly raises rear  very muscular look   and i have seen a few members with what i would call ideal.  i dont remember who  but i did a search and found a few pictures but thats it.

so everyone post up pictures of their rear  with the tire sizes their running and suspension setup.

thanks alot again!!   :cheers:

 what were we talkin about?..  :shruggy:
Actually now @ 51 1/2 years of age i do notice short and some medium term memory loss... like too much water in a cup just overflows,.. some info just doesn't get traction or stick,.. but back on subject...

The rear tires are P275/60R16 Dunlop GTQs and the fronts are 237s Be aware of course the SS Springs give a great inital hook but ride rather bumpy and folks notice BOTH characteristics...
BTW If I were purchasing tires today my latest research would lead me to purchase Firestone Fire Hawk tires as they show the best Overall handleing specs in comparo tests as of early last Yr.
FYI:
BTW:
Congrats on a great looking Charger, I like this one alot better then the last brown one, and I liked that one alot...
of course as you well know I bet it looked alot better in pictures...
Will it take much longer for you to recover from the Skips' harsh treatment you recived?,.. and, any juicy storys make it back from Lost Wages?..  :popcrn:

New MP springs, Cal Tracs, 275 rear & 235 front.  With my backspacing 295 for the rear wouldn't work.
Stance is perfect for me, and that's all that counts.

That wheel/tire combo looks killer on your car, I'm thinking, how would they look on a black 69.  :scratchchin:

Darker the better.  IMO, the torque D's don't look as good on a lighter color car.  :Twocents:

And thanks, my car's been wearing these wheels, not this particular set, for a couple decades now.

My 73 isn't really that high in the rear but almost kinda sorta high.

Very nice stance.


I always prefer lowering the front rather than raising the rear. :Twocents:
