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..

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

Nice little drive in the summer.

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??

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?

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

[My9302002]

Thanks!

   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.

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.

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.
