15" Rallye wheel/tire selection

[Challenger in NC]

I recommended the BFGs - as future availability for a replacement tire or pair would be easier

I'm not sure you can get 245/60/15s on the front of an e-body without clipping the front corner of the fender? 

I'm not sure either, someone had posted the exact same combo on the c-c site (think it was Carlwalski) and he said there were no rubbing issues. However, I'll definitely look closer before I purchase anything. I'm a long ways off before the car is ready for tires.

Thanks Cuda Mike

Personally I like the tires and wheels to be the same front and back. M/T is a good choice for a tire I think, better than Cooper or the brown letter T/A's. 235X60X15 are a safe choice on the front with stock offset wheels in my experience. If you really need bigger on back 245X60X15 works on the back. Both these Challengers are 235X60X15 and 245X60X15.

Great looking cars.

Considering changing to OEM 15" classic look but torn between them and new aluminum 17" copies. This information has been helpful.

Yeah, the limited availability of 15" tires should make choosing the 17" wheel easier....  I still like my 15's but the performance advantage & tire availability makes the swap to 17" very tempting....

Agree that 17" Probably the most logical choice and these do look like the way to go for me at least.
I like the look of the 1974 center caps on them even though I have a 1971. Plus they are true to the OEM 15" look.

You can get those for 30% off now at Year One. You wont get free shipping but you still come out way ahead.

15" tires out there that are dedicated street tires and off the shelf at a host of retailers;

BFG TA
Mickey Thompson ST
Mickey Thompson SR
Cooper Cobra
Mastercraft Avenger
Dean Stinger
Maxxis Bravo
Maxxis Marauder
Futura Super Sport
Hankook Ventus
Nankang SP-7
General Grabber
Vanderbilt Turbo Tech

Nearly all of these are S and T speed rated and are what are typically called "cosmetic performance" tires i.e. they look good but are not necessarily high performance tires. The MT SR and Maxxis Maruader are H speed rated, so they may be a bit better than the rest but are not available in RWL at all.

Of course there is a whole host of racing and d.o.t. racing tires from Hoosier, Goodyear, Phoenix, Dunlop, Avon and others that are out there for dual purpose machines or if you need increased grip. However, most of these would be good weather drivers at best.

I have 235-60-15 on the front and 275-60-15 on the back. on the factory 15x7 rims, no issues with rubbing on the inner lip.

I ran 245X60X15 all around on this one. I had to cut a pie shape out of the front bottom wheel opening to make them work at the ride height I like.
I like the 17 inch Rallyes and would consider them for sure on a slightly modified car.

Mickey Thompson and Cooper options,
I am looking at these two options as my BFG are old.

OK, I did see the Cooper's, but not the M/T's. Maybe that would work, appears to have good ratings. At least a few more sizes to choose from.

I'm running M/T's on the back.

They are doing good. Wish they were a little more sticky is all but that's O.K.
They have a great load rating so they can handle big block front end weight very well.
Looks wise, I  think they are the best since the white letters are probably the smallest font size.
I don't like the Big white letter  look like what BFG is like.

@Challenger in NC, before you buy check out pricing on www.performanceplustire.com.  They have good customer service and were cheaper than anyone I found when I bought the wheels/tires for my Cuda and Charger.

Will do, thanks.

T/A Radials were pretty popular back in the day, BF Goodrich P235/60R15 Tire, Radial T/A - 9082 $136.99 each, and of course pay you local shop to install. But at the end of the day it is a personal preference. But back in the day I could not afford them, Douglas Grab-n- Go was all I could afford.
