Its a cool link, and i appreciate the help, but it doesn't say I can put 29" tires on a charger. and I know its possible. plus it just doesn't have the same effect as seeing it in real life. thanks but I'm looking for some real pictures.

im on my phone s posting links is a pain. Send me your email and I will send you some up close shots of my 275 60's on the new wheels. 15x8.5's. The offset is an inch or 2 too far out for my liking but they work without rubbing.   I had the same tires on 15x7's and they were tucked up underneath very well.

There are a few pictures of 295/65/15's on here.  Ron's car is one of them.  I have 325/50/15's on mine.

I beleive a 295/65 is around 30". I do have a picture of this set  up if you want to se one of these.

Ron's car:


It's pretty much set up for drag racing so I'm not sure how high the rear end sits above stock. I also have no idea if it will hit in a sharp turn.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

 my 28"s on Super Stock springs that stiffens and raises the rear a bit, around an inch or so,.. It's a very popular size combo for second Gens..

Here's the picture of 325/50/15's.  I'm planning on going to 295/65/15's in the spring.  I'm looking for the extra height.

good thread too. i think I'm definitely going with a 28", to me the 29" tire look a little too big for what i want. im amazed at how much different a charger can look just by changing the wheels.

Wheels can make or break a car in some cases, but everyone has a look that they like and they're own opinions.  However... there aren't many ugly Chargers in my opinion!   :lol:  When you get those tires on, be sure to post a picture for us all with details!   :2thumbs:

First Pic, 235/60 front on 15x8 275/60 rear on a 15x10. 275/60 is 28" but because of the wide rim, is a bit less.



Same front tire, now the rear is a 295/65 on a 15x8, so it is slightly taller, almost 30".

Can you add those pics to this thread too?  It would be a great addition to it!

Here's some 325/50/15s at about 28" tall.





And here's some 295/65/15s at 29.5" tall.

Bull,

Are the 295/65/15's on a 8" or 10" back spacing?

I assume you mean overall width? I don't know but they look like 8" to me. Ron owns the car. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=250 You can send him a PM with any car-related question in the world and he'll be happy to help.
