I'm at the mercy of the shop. Cannot get back there till Feb 11th. If they don't send a photo, I have nothing to show.

Year One 17" Rally Wheels. 295/45R17 Mickey T in the back. 255/50R17 Nitto 555 in the front. Ignore my rear valance that has to be adjusted. It is still a work in progress! :D

Looks great, how much clearance do you have between your tire and rear springs with the 295 m/ts'. I was considering those as well for my 71 charger but went for 8 inch rims all round with NT555 255/50zr17 nitto's. My car sometimes sees a bit of rain and I was a little scared to run a drag radial and didn't want to run a SUV tire like a Nitto 450 or a Falken in a 275.

Lot's of later model hot rod daily drivers (ie Mustangs, Camaros, Trans Ams) are running those SUV tires.   :2thumbs:   Plus they are liked by many of the buyers for their wet weather performance.   :shruggy:

Hm-mm, the 450's might be OK, to be honest I'm not sure and I would have prefer ed a larger tire. I was told that the Falken's have trouble hooking in the dry and the 450's can be noisy that's why I went with the NT555's, I'm sure there would be no issues with wet traction with either the 450's or the Falken's.

Give me a few weeks and I will let you know on the dry traction.. :smilielol:    Even though they are said to be good in the wet, I hope to never get caught out in the rain with my car.  Takes to long to get it all cleaned up again.  :brickwall:   Plus I may not be able to hear the tires over the 440 w/ TTI's.... :shruggy:

Probably 3/4" to the spring. Lots of room.

Definitely like the extra side wall on the rear, both cars look great. Personal thing I guess but 17" rims with 40 series tires on a Charger are just to small for me, although I like them on a Cuda.

beautiful car and the wheels look great. on the chally in the thread the sidewall is way too small for a muscle car but ur tires look terrific :2thumbs:

amazing how natural 295 looks on 3rd gen, it doesnt look like a drag car.

I'd have to see those wheels on something else, don't think I could run em.. They certainly lend themselves well to the 3rd gens tho'! I love that plum car, park next to me anytime.
