You should buy my Magnums off me. I'd part with them already wrapped in rubber too!
I'd be interested but I'm pretty sure shipping cost would make it impractical.

If you are in the US, then yeah it would cost an arm & leg, but in Canada if you are near Edmonton you could pick them up!

Rubber mounted. 295/45R17 Mickey Thompson Street Drag Radial in the back on 17x9"
Nitto 255/50R17 555 on a 17x8 for the front. Only about 1/2" difference in height. Once the rear of my car settles a bit more, the stance should be perfect!









A sidewall profile of the 295/45 MT, so you can see the bulge on a 9" Not bad at all.



Sidewall profile of the 255/50 Nitto so you can see the bulge on a 8" Not bad at all.



Front & Back side by side.



Center cap looks great!!!



Love the way the rim looks like a brushed trim ring!



Difference of the width front to back.



Cannot wait to get them on my Charger!!!! :D ;)

Here are a couple of the pics of the guys Challenger from the Cuda-Challenger thread....

Tire sizes as quoted from the thread
"Front: 245/40-17 - A fraction of an inch shorter than the current 195/75-14
Rear: 275/40-17 - A fraction taller...."

Not sure why all the pics show the front wheels turned slightly.  Make me wonder if the wheels may be sitting out a little to far on an E-body front suspension?   :shruggy:

 :2thumbs: Those look great! Updated look, but not too crazy.  It will be cool to see them on your car too, Wookie316.   Does anyone have them ordered for a 2nd gen?
