pics of 245\60 and 255\60's up front

[c00nhunterjoe]

I'm going t be getting new tires soon. I've got 15x 8.5s on the car. I want to see some pics of your cars with 245\60\15s up front and those with 255\60\15's up front.    Any other wide front tire pics welcome as well.

Hey Joe,

I run 245's on the front of my car. I had them mount some 255's initially but they were too wide for my taste.

These are 245/60/15 on 15x8 wheels



These are 255/60/15 on 15x7 wheels...hard to tell I know

restoration. Wheels, suspension first.

[My9302002]

Chris,
What size rims/tires on the Magnums with the redlines.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

255/60/15 all around on 15x7 rims....same for the steelies

[My9302002]

Interested in parting company with the
Magnums?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

LOL...already sold to fund the steelies! 

[My9302002]

Darn!
What was the offset on the Magnum's.
Also the vendor you bought them from.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

They were the trim ring type Road Wheels custom made by Specialty Wheels.  Stock 4.25" back spacing if i remember correctly

[My9302002]

Thanks again Chris

Actually from Michigan.

Which part?

[My9302002]

Grosse Pointe area... North of Detroit.

[Dino]

Cool, I'm in Ann Arbor.

[My9302002]

Nice
PM me your number. My Charger is in Monroe
where we are doing all the work in a nice
heated shop with a lift. Not far from AA..

[71 SE3834V]

You drive within a few miles of me on your way to Monroe!

[My9302002]

Nice little drive in the summer.

[jb666]

They are 295/50/15 on 15x8 rims

More pics & info here....

Still one of the best looking Chargers out there, IMO... I love it.

This is also the reason I went with the MT Sportman tires last time around.....

I have a buddy that says he's running 295's on all four corners. 15x10 in the rear and 15.8.5 in the front. I have yet to see this , and can't imagine how it'll look... I would think it'd be too wide and might hit??

[JN488]

Here are 245/60's on front with 275/60's on rear. Wheels are all 15x8's.

[My9302002]

That looks just about perfect.
Any side shots?
One from the back?

[JN488]

I have other pictures but am on the road this week. I will post some additional pictures when I get home.

[My9302002]

Thanks!

[XH29N0G]

   Will be waiting for pictures too.   

[JN488]

Okay, I am back home so I can wear you out with pictures. Always willing to show pictures of the cars!

[JN488]

And still more.........  I do like the look of the 15" chrome magnums, although quality of the wheels is only fair-to-good (Specialty Wheel).

[XH29N0G]

Your car looks fantastic!   Thanks for posting the additional pics.

[JN488]

Thanks for the compliment.  I am happy to help any way I can, as I know the feeling of trying to settle on wheels and tires.  I spent a lot of time looking at pictures, researching and thinking before deciding on these.  I like the Rallye's on '70's a lot too, and also struggled over 295/50's since they look great in the rear wheel wells.  There are occasional cars though with rubbing issues on the 295's, so I stuck with the safer 275's.

[My9302002]

Thanks also....
Car looks fantastic.

[Dino]

Very nice JN, real clean look.  I notice you still have a bit of room to bring the tires closer to the quarter and fender well lips.  What's the backspace on the rims?

[JN488]

Dino, the rims are 15x8 with the standard 4.5" backspace.  From my reading, that is a safe setup for the 275's and nobody ever has any rub issues in that combination.  With the 295/50's, the reduced clearances seem to require a lot more precision with matching wheel size and backspacing.  I also noted posts where 295/50 combinations that worked on one car would rub a times on another car, so individual car fitment came into play.  In short, the 275's were a sure fit, while the 295's look great but may take some tweaking on an individual car.

Good points.  The 275's look just as great btw, very nice look, great stance.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Good looking '70 JN

[JN488]

Thanks Just 6T9, your car was one I looked at often when deciding on wheels and tires.  The look and stance of your car is exceptional, one of the best I have seen.

[1970Moparmann]

Very nice!
