Just had them mounted.  The original 14" Magnum that came with the car were small and skinny.  These are perfectly retro yet very beefy and clean.  Digging them.

any clearance issues? I never hear of 265 50 15s up front.

The 295 50 15s have heard mixed results some say NP, others have to lift to clear. What are the back spacing on each?

Thanks!

They look superb....on a stock or stockish looking Charger they are very hard to beat. The very reason they won't be on my resto mod!  Still very cool though!

That looks GOOD!
I am still rolling on the 14's and always thought they made the car look something like a skateboard.
Time to upsize.

Nice!  :2thumbs: 5" backspace on the 10s? 4.5"? Where'd you get them?

Been thinking about getting the 10" for a long time but they're a big jump in price over the 8" Magnums. I've got 15x8 with 295 Coopers on mine but the 10" widen them out nicer I think.

Well look at that, a guy not living in the past, who enjoys modern cars, and prefers a Charger to roll on 15's........ I was told we didn't exist  ;D

Nothing wrong with 15's on a Charger....it's when I'm asked why I have not put the 20's off the Challenger on the Charger that just makes no sense to me. The Challenger already looks like a Matchbox car.  :icon_smile_big: IMO 20's would not look good on the classic Charger.  :2thumbs:
