Stripe or no stripe?

[OldGuy]

We are in the finishing stages of restoring our 1968 Charger.  It is a 383, 4-BBL, 4-speed (1 of 259).  Just got it back from having the vinyl top and new headliner put on.  It has been restored back to original build sheet specs except the rims and tires we want to put on it.  We are planning to put on 15" Bassetts.

Would like to put on yellow raised lettering Goodyear tires but I don't think they offer them anymore in a size that would fit the rims.  Will probably have to settle for BF Goodrich white raised letters.
I know it is a XP model with the 383 - not an R/T - but I think the bumblebee stripe (black) would really set it off.
What do you all think?

This is the look we want to end up with.

[FlatbackFanatic]

i vote yes on the stripe...

you might consider firestone firehawk indy 500's. i think they may be discontinued but sets are still available.

show the money. stripes.  wife says no stipes. she says it makes it look longer and sleeker without

[nelson_audet]

stripe is a extremely nice ...i have it on my rt...but if you out the stripe and no rt embkem..i al note sure...for the look it will be beautifull but incorect...fir me stripe + rt emblem....so you will have a clone rt with a 383...

[Darkman]

Stripes for sure 

[Patronus]

Im thinking Bassetts too. Hopefully they can make their Inertia wheel in a 15x7 as I like that five hole pattern better. Def  
on the stripe. Especially on a '68.  

Also, check out the Goodyear SS drag radials...

ooooookkk





Nice to see you restored it back to broadcast sheet specs.  Our Chargers are big enough as it is.  The stripe sorta helps break it up.

Whatever tire you get, you can always use a yellow sharpie on the lettering.  Just make sure the letters have been bleached or whatever ahead of time eliminating all dirt.

What size rims and tires are you running?

[jaak]

I vote yes on the stripe too. With those long quarters, they almost need 'em, whether and RT or not 
Plus it will look great with those black wheels.

definetly a stripe or maybe even a ghost stripe

The black stripe is a really good look.  I'm wavering between stripe or no stripe too right now, but your color combo is just begging for the black stripe.  I say do it.

oldguy, 15x7's on the front and 15x8's on the rear...... they are Crager brand from summit.
