I was always a big fan of the magnum 500's. The front wheels came with the car when I bought it they are 14x6 I beleive. The back are 15x10 with a 5" backspace. They have dayton 295/50/15 tires with absolutely no clearence issues. The wheel wells are stock and the tire has plenty about .75-1.25" of clearence on each side. I might even go bigger next time on the tire size.

I too vote for the magnum 500's on the car as the chrome and black will compliment the silver and black stripe of your car!
Magnums are the way to go!

terrible one

I agree. They will look very good with the color of your car.

add some bling-bling. These 24`s should do the trick.

15" Magnums, '68 style, or be sneeky and put on painted wheels with Dog Dish caps. But I still like the Magnums the most.

Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

One thing I am sure of is NO "bling bling"   :o  Nothing too big either.  Can't do it.  I was thinking Magnums all along bt need to make the call and want to consider any other wheel that might set it off.  Keep the ideas coming but show me something different from stock.

The magnum looks best, and the steelrims with centercups...
Looking for 383 Magnum #0B196875 and 0B115166

I went the not stock look for mine. I have Weld Draglites. Mine are 15X7 up front and 15X8 in the rear. I am in the minority on this board. I like aftermarket wheels better than magnums or steel wheels with hubcaps.

How about wire wheels? :D

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Black wheels look realy sweet on a silver Charger.

Also big fan of slotted mags :D

I agree or black steelies with hubcaps will look great as well. Black wheels with the silver will look awesome.
