Couldn't help meself...saw these two cars parked next to each other at a Mopar show, and thought; "What a contrast in styles"...
One obviously bone-ass stock, the other pure-to-the-bone street racer chic!
I couldn't decide which one I'd rather have!
Maybe one of each??

Yep, Chargers need a little chubby in the rubber...umm...errr...well, you know what I mean. :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. :)

I'd go for the skinnys in front, and run something in between the two pic sizes in back.

Those wide charger wheel wells look great when they are absolutely stuffed with rubber......I don't like it when cars get cut up and tubbed, but, legitimate fatty stuffing is the way forward.....
That last sentence sounded not quite the way I intended...... ???

I just put 295/50 BFG's on the rear today cause fat is the bomb.

Any more pictures of the fatties? What size are those?!?! 325s? They dwarf my 275's. Looks like they might be M&H Racemaster Radials. Guessing the springs have been moved in.
