Tire and Wheel Change on my Charger

[Texas97]

i like these 17" wheels or 15" wheels. no 10" wide, so 7" abd 8" widths only. interesting...

I'm told that ET wheels is in Northern CA and that they make the wheels to order. You can specify width and back spacing.
They are available in widths greater than 8" too.

I dig Weld Drag Lites, especially the polished version. They also offer them in black. I wish they made them in 18" diameter.

These look pretty bad-*** and it's offered in several colors:

i keep going back to these. they are what Restomods used on their 70 Charger they built.
18's

i kinda really like the chrome rim to give the wheels and tire some depth and dimension

Those wheels are a great choice. Do you have a link for them?

the Restomods charger wheels have a slightly different color but when i look around at the anthracite on cars, it looks like its just a dull shiny. i think i like the gloss black with chrome edge better.

Those are nice, do you have the coil over setup in the rear like the restomod Charger?

It looks like 10 inch version of that wheel has too much back space for a stock setup. I ran into the same thing.

im going to have to do the measurements before ordering. i think 10" will fit mine, because i have them now but the backspacing is the clincher

The back spacing at 5.5 on 18x10's work. I have the AR VN510's and no rubbing on stock leaf springs.

EXCELLENT photos. This is very helpful. Man, you're making a good case for me to switch from 15's to 18's....

Really? 8+ months that I had your car at my place wasn't enough to sway you?

Looks good, I had a 275-60 with 5 inches of backspace and had a fingers clearance, so that's where my thought came from. Maybe the sidewall bulge between the two sizes is making the difference here.
