I always liked the look of those, am thinking of putting a set on the Charger with 235 or 245 up front and 275 or 295 on the back. Raised white letters of course.  M/T's propably.

Anyone have them on their 2nd gen?

Black wall tires, OR RWL tires, and Cragar SS MAgs? Almost a perfect match.

Black wall tires are boring. They look like any basic car tire then. RWL is the only way to go an anything made.

BnB I need to look up more pics of yours as those are the exact tire sizes I'm looking at.  What's the width of your rims?

The last Charger I bought has them on it. But I want to change them out.

Definitely, if they are the size I need.  Looking for 15x8 for the rear, 15x7 or 8 for the front.  I guess 15x10 for the rear would work as well but I kinda like the fat balloon tire look.

The picture was taken more than a few years back at an Elementary School located across the street from Knotts Berry Farm in Southern California.    A lot of the Superbird/Road Runner owners in the area used it as a backdrop for picture taking..........................

Walter Knott Elementary. Near the corner of La Palma and Western, in Buena Park. Right next to the KBF.

Not to hijack the thread, but can one of the LA guys drive by and see if it's still there?

Now back to the great Cragar pics.

I do have them on my golf cart. Why is that so hard to believe? Same as the picture already shown. It's just a golf cart, not a Charger. I didn't think a pic would be required for a gold cart too.
