I have decided to go with some new Magnum 500 reproductions for my 1968 Charger R/T. I am trying to figure out what size wheels to buy. I'm not sure if I like the look of Chargers w/ skinny tires all the way around. I feel like that rear of this car was just meant to filled w/ rubber. I am also concerned about grip at approx. 500 hp.
I am currently running a set of 18" Foose wheels, which I bought when I began this restoration 8 years ago. I love the way they handle but I wanted a more original look now.
My current setup is 245/45-18x8 front & 275/40-18x10 rear.
Here are some options I'm considering:
Prices for wheels and tires mounted balanced and shipped:
First option w/ BF Goodrich TA's w/ raised white lettering
15x7 245/60-15 ride height 26.5"
15x8 275/60-15 rh 28"
$1600
Second option w/ BF Goodrich Redlines.
15x7 235/70-15 rh 28"
$2000
Third option
15x7 235/70-15
BF Goodrich TA's
$1400
I would also consider running 15x8" front and 15x10" rear
Does anyone have any thoughts, recommendations, or suggestions?
Also would love to see photos if anyone has them to share.
Thanks!
