E-Body Tire Sizes (what fits, what's too big, what looks good)

15x7s and 15x10s 3.75 BS Torque thrusts with Mickey Thompson SRs 15x12 on rear & 15x26.1 on front, Side pic shows different front tire sorry. Custom length Dana With springs move under frames.

Still one of my favorite Challengers!

I bought the 15" rims off a T/A, got a heck of a deal in them. I am getting ready to buy my tires soon. Out of the country now so it will be around July.

LT-III from ET Wheels. 17x8 with 4.75" BS Front. 18x9.5 with 5 1/8" BS Rear. Stock height. Had a little rubbing on the passenger side rear and rolled the lip enough to stop most of it. Could probably be done a bit more. I can update with tire info if interested.

Looks great! I also have those rims. I'm really happy with them also!

Ha, me too!  Love those rims.

Edit: forgot the specs, front 18x9.5 5.5 BS with 275-35, rear 18x10 5.25 BS with 285-40.

Finally got my Polyglas on! Even if they are not the best performing option, nothing beats the look of those square shoulders on an E=Body!
F60-15 in front, G-60 in back, 15x7 all around.

16x10 Centerline X-series 2-pc forged lt-weight aluminum road race rims, 5" back-space, tires Hoosier A6 Autocross radials (tread wear 40) 275-45-16 ... front and rear, lowered suspension (stiff for competition handling).   Front/rear fender lips slightly massaged for additional clearance... SCCA E/SP Solo II race class rules allow such mods... even full flares if desired.  These tires do not rub.. if at all just barely and no concern.

15x8 Superlight brand mini-lite rims, ~4.3/8" back spacing, new BFG T/As 255-60-15 fronts, 275-60-15 rear .... this is my long distance highway cruising setup, and occasional lapping sessions.  A very comfortable ride on the highway!

These are my 16x8 minilite rims 4-1/2" backspace, BFG Comp T/As 255-50-16 front/rear, used for road course lapping sessions.. and highway cruising.

Nice - what size tires and are you running a stock ebody rear?

[MOPAR MITCH]

I've always run the factory stock 8.75 rear differential (per racing rules required by SCCA and others, although, realistically, no one would probably ever figure out if a narrower b-body rear were in it.. but then, the narrower b-body rear doesn't help with a preferred wider track for cornering.   Modifying the fender lips are allowed with the SCCA (and other clubs) rules.

I indicated the tire sizes with each rim setup group of pictures.   I may, possibly, get a set of 18x10 or 18-11 rims and run the 200 tread wear tires.. as that's what many club's certain race classes require.. 200 minimum tread wear.. and tires are the main ingrediant!!!  "Tarrss win races.."   But, 18s rims and tires are costly to me now, so, they can wait.     17" rims are just about history because of very limited sizes (275-40-17 biggest/best choice); 18" rims offer much more tire choices and sizes and brands.... $$$$... can wait a while for me.

Pending my race club/classes future, I would prefer to run my 16x10 with the awesome Hoosier A or R compound 40 tread wear tires... they stick like glue and my car is already setup for that rim/tire combo.

Really serious racers run very soft tread wear tires... $$$$.   Hoosiers are the best!  (and yes officer, they are DOT legal... and no, the car is not for sale).

Sorry mopar mitch, meant to quote this post but thanks for the details! What tire sizes were used with the above ET wheel setup?
