Exterior Discussion / ModificationsWant to change the look and appearance of your Dodge Challenger? This section is for the discussion of any exterior visual modifications. Examples include wheels, custom paint, grills, etc.
Here is a picture of our Latemodel Restoration Supply(newchallengerparts.com) Hemi Orange project car on chrome 22x9 and 22x11 KMC Novas. Maybe a little too much bling for some, but it does look nice and reminds us of a SEMA car or a Hot Wheel! The chrome really stands out and makes the orange look a little darker. With 22's it actually makes the Challenger look smaller. I was hoping to be the first Challenger with them, but I saw that there was another one already on the site in an avatar. Oh well here are some pics anyway...

Re: Here is our Challenger on Chrome 22" KMC Novas
I was prepared to barf when I opened this thread because I hate crazy big wheels on a muscle car. I have to say that they actually look darn good. I must say 5 spoke wheels are almost always good looking.
Re: Here is our Challenger on Chrome 22" KMC Novas
I think the Machined ones would have looked more Old School. Any Rubbing Issues? What size and brand/model tires are you running? Maybe even a 20/22" combo?

That's an excellent modern interpretation of the Magnum 500. I likee!
Re: Here is our Challenger on Chrome 22" KMC Novas
The tires are two 265/35/22, & two 295/30/22 Nitto NT 420's. No rubbing issues at all even lock to lock. The outer diamater are basically the same as the stock wheels and tires. I still want to put springs on it to drop it just a hair.
We were going to go with the satin finish but figured if your going to go big, then go with chrome!

Re: Here is our Challenger on Chrome 22" KMC Novas
Yes it did take some small spacers. 1/8" spacer on the back and 5/16" spacer on the front. If you get the kit from newchallengerparts.com (Latemodel Restoration Supply, it comes with the spacers. Different lug nuts are also required.
