About My Car (NEWBIE)

[bull]

Hi REAR tire size ar 295-50-15's And they fit pretty well..

That's what I figured. Any rubbing? We have debates around here on occasion as to whether 295s rub on the outer wheel well hump with a little weight in the back. Some say they do, some say they don't. Either way I'll probably end up with 295s on the back of mine when I get done because they look so cool! Hey, most women will tell you they wear uncomfortable shoes because they look good. Why should the shoes on a Charger be any different? Like Billy Crystal says, "It's better to look good than to feel good."

By the way, what size are the fronts? I figured out a good front BFG tire size that almost exactly matches the diameter of the 295/50-15 but I can't remember it right now. I think it might be 245/60-15 but I'll have to dig up the chart to be sure.

Hi BULL, The wheel size in the rear is 15*9.5 with those 295-50-15. With the kids in the back of the car the tire will slightly rub the divers side wheel well lip in some dips. But other than that they are fine. The wheel size up front is 15*7 with 235-60-15. They are the same diameter as the 295's.


Thanks JIM

I have 295/50s on the rear of my car also with no rubbing issues and I have had people ride in the back seat. Also my car isn't R6 Red. The previous owner painted it Viper Red but I would say it was close. It also has a 318 in it.

wow! nice car. i dig the red interior. Rene

You guys must have a different offset because Jim's rear tires are closer to the outer edge of the wheel well. Do you guys know your offset?

Nice ride!

I too would like to state for the record I think those Chargers are bitchen! 

[1969R6RED]

I'm not sure what the rear off set is. But I sure do get a lot of complemnts on the wheels Thay are Cragar Mach 8. I have only see another set on a third gen. Charger on e-bay a few years back.  And thanks for all the COMPLEMENTS.
I hjave single exhaust on the car what do you guys think about changing it over to duels??? Please comment I would like to all of your opinions

i would put duals on it but only if its good exhaust like tti or custom pipes done equally well ....alot of custom  shops do crude work ecspecially when it comes to the hangersor you could leave it the way it is and in the words of my dad "be seen and not heard"

[DodgeChargerNeeded]

Well is the current exhaust rotted out or going bad or do you just want the better flow and sound of a dual exhaust. If the single exhaust is still good I would leave it for now until it really needs it.

[1969R6RED]

Well the reason that I ask is that my car is so original. I don't want to take anything from that. But I wonder if I do put duel exhaust on it from say TTI. with the right tips and hangers so that it alll  looks factory .Will it be the wrong thing to do??

I don't think it would be wrong to do. The only reason it may be wrong woulf be if you were trying to have it judged at car shows as "factory original"...otherwise, it's your car & you should be able to play with it a little. IMO, swapping bolt on stuff like that is no biggie.
My 318 car had headers & Thrush's on it when I got it, there's no way I'd personally go back to a single exhaust. If you put on a TTI system, the sound would have people constantly shocked when you tell 'em "it's only a 318 ". It happened to me all the time.

I have dual flowmasters on mine and I would say it sounds very nice.

if you put on tti the only thing non reversable would be the 4 holes you need to drill for the factory style lt muff hanger bracket ...........and i dont think that would bother me much

Pic of that Camaro Spoiler on your Charger?

[JMF]

Love the rear wheel/tyre setup

[charge69]

Very nice looking Charger! Amazing condition for all-original! Mine is also R6 Red and it is an awesome color.
I would leave it alone until you had to replace something. As someone has already said....it is only original once!

[1969R6RED]

Thanks I like R6 Red too.. I is only original once. But the muffler hanger is getting a bit weak.

how about a pic of those headers?
