Ok..I am old school, I love the look of rear tires that stick out a bit. Show 'em if you got em!
Also, tire and wheel size/offset info would be appreciated.
Here's an example-
mrproffitt asked me about clearance behind the tire to shock. Couldn't figure out how to send pics to him in a private message so I put them up on this thread. Might help out some others too. I can put a couple of fingers between the back of the tire and shock cover and not touch.
This a new fetish I wasn't aware of yet? :naughty: "Old school vibe", you say? Yep, I got what you want, baby: 17x7 HRH wheels with -6mm offset and 235/60 tires. Can't imagine what it would look like with a wider setup and I keep it on the narrow side to avoid both the Ben-Hur look and the tickets. I'm already 1.2" beyond where the stock wheels were.
Currently sporting rear splash guards to complete that ******* thing I got going. In the future I might jack up the rear and paint the car red with a white zebra stripe (nah, just throwing that in to really piss people off :up_to_something.
ETA: Just to be clear and because of some comments I see, I'm not saying that mine is the setup to have, either for max traction/grip or to impress people. 7" rims and 235 tires aren't going to cut it for too many people here. I gave my exact specs to be informative, and rim shape/offset alone are the reason why my wheels stick out, which was the topic of the thread after all (not wide tires).

235/60/17's would only be about 8.5 inches wide not even close to what I need heck I think that size fits most mini vans my 295's are almost 4 inches wider thats old school and not any type of new fetish for me heck if I could fit n50's they would be there.
^^^Agreed! I love the stance and how the back tires fill the fender wells. I have a RT that is lowered with Mopar Spring kit and wondering if those rear tires will fit without rubbing on my car. Waiting on more details...

Any negatives to running 315's on the rear? I think they really complement the Challenger's fat "ass". I will probably go with 315's for my next set of tires. Anyone running 315's have issues with lowering your car?
Well, I'm glad that this thread was started and so many post pics because until then I thought my car to be a bit on the odd-looking side. Make me wanna go ahead and get some wider rubber now - it should work, visually and otherwise.
I felt the same way. I even thought about getting my wheels machined down a little to bring them back in or just going with 8.5 in back with a 255/45 or 275/40. Now that I know I'm not the only one, I feel better.
'Tiny' wheels! I love that look. And, strangely enough, they fill those wheel wells like they shouldn't fit in there (sarcasm, but not directed at you or anybody in this thread). Well, done, sir. :thumbsup:
