i want the 521s 20x10.5 in the back and 18x8 in the front for my 73 charger being young and budgeting i think these wheels would be nice for the cost but when i called the lady said they prob wont fit...they have my bolt pattern but i dont know what offset to get the lowest offset they offer is 30+ for the 20in rim and a 25 for the 18s they said it wont work is there any way i could make them work..

They only look okay on a rice burner.  :Twocents:

I like the look of those wheels, but then again, I LIKE large wheels on the classics. I have 18x10s on the rear of my Charger. I chose that size because I felt that anything larger than that gave me too short of a sidewall. Just MY opinion.

Don't listen to these guys...............guarenteed they have Magnum 500's on there car.  Go with what you like, I personally think they are nice looking wheels.  You have to get it low and with the right stance, but they should look good.

what wheels are you running?

jhowell34

 im 20years old my generation taste is a little different i wouldnt mind a pair of magnum 500s with a nice lip in a 20x10 if you can find me some then i would  consider it but 15s are way too small for the fender wells of my charger and adding more tire is a waste to me when i dont need it and its not what im looking for....being different is what i like to do and is not often you see a mean, aggressive stanced 3rd gen

I run Intro Twisted Vista wheels. 18x9 in front with a 275 40 18. The rears are 18x10 with a 295 45 18. I'd load pictures, but there is some sort of glitch. My wheels have a polished outer rim with a satin aluminum center. 5 spokes on a flat face, with the spokes twisted slightly. Dang I wish I could load pictures!

sounds good just message me with a pic of them

Not sure of the price for these to be considered a "budget" rim, but the overall design is actually somewhat common. You might check some other sources like American Eagle 227, ASA GT5, Beyern Mesh, Prime 145, or the ASA AR1.

I'm not necessarily opposed to larger wheels, but the 18/20 combo does create a proportional difference that does not match well, IMO. I'd stick with 18" all around, or even drop to a 17". The difference in cost savings on the cost of rubber between a 20" and 17" tire will be realized quickly, and often, if you drive it hard. Size up some 275 front and 335 rear in 17" rubber and you will have a selection of tires for many years to come as a large number of cars came from the factory in those sizes and that will ensure their availability for years to come. Eventually the availability of odd ball 18, 19, and 20 inch rubber will be harder and harder to find if they weren't offered in OEM sizes. I also think if budget is the overall approach, you will find 17 and 19 rubber costs less than equvilent 20. Additionally, stepping up to 20" wheels creates a significant increase in moment of inertia and will require stepped up spring and shock rates to better control the additional mass you now spinning around in your wells.

id never go bigger than 15" on an old car. my charger and camaro have 15''s. muscle cars look better with some sidewall imo.

sidewall is a must!!!!   I'm looking into 17s for mine.. plenty of options, much more affordable and just big enough. Anything over 18 is overkill!

amen on that!  :eek2: i dont like the old cars with "the chip foose dub look". just like newer cars would not look right with 15" wheels. the big wheels dont even look like they have tires, they look like rubber bands.. :lol:
