I know this has been asked  many times  but what size tires would look good on my challenger with 15" rims
Get in, I'll drive

Shane Kelley

235/60 OR 245/60 on the front and 245/60 OR 255/60 on the rear. I am assuming these are 7" wide rims?  These are 15x7 on my Road Runner. 235 and 255

1 Wild R/T

Rear springs in the stock location or moved inboard? 

I like 235/60 in the front, some guys run the 245/60's bu my cars tend to be a little lower then theirs.... 

In the rear stock spring location I prefer 255/60... Some guys run 275/60 the width is fine but those are 28" tall, over 2" taller than the front tire so while I like the car to have some rake this can make it a little more than I like...

Springs inboard.. 295/50 without question....

I agree on the 275/60 being to big.  That's a really tall tire.

I have 15x7 front with 235/60-15 and 15x8 rear with 245/60-15. Suspension is stock. I'm in between stock and T/A diameter for the rear tires.
I've since put 235/60-15 on the rear. Now same diameter all around as E60-15 tire.
Edit: I now have 15x7 police wheels on the car with 235/60-15 front and rear.

I'm running 15x7 all around with 215\60\15 on the front and 275\60\15 on the rear on my AAR, gives it a nice rake like the AAR is supposed to have. They run at 25.2 at the front and 28 at the rear installed with 30 psi.

The original with e60/15 (25.5) at the front and g60\15 (26.4) at the rear.

I wanted to keep the front as close to original for alignment and handling and bigger on the back for the rake look and performance, the smaller the tire on the back the more spin and less straight line traction.

I'm happy with 275/60-15 on the rear and 245/60-15 on the fronts.
About 1 1/2" height difference between the front and back tires.

15x8 rim size on all 4 corners with 4 1/2" back spacing.

Everything fits under the car real nice.

It's really up to all of us.  If everyone thinks this is a valuable thread that needs to be "sticky'ed" then we'll make it happen.

Very happy with these tires

245/15 all the way around on factory 15x7's. Everyone needs to remember the size and look will vary between brands. So keep that in mind.
