Let me know if you see errors or if it can be improved. I haven't touched this since I bought my wheels but I think it would help others get a quick idea of whet would work.  As always, YMMV. Best to measure for your application before you plunk down the $$$.

This spreadsheet is killer. It would be awesome to include a hyperlink to a picture of the car. But I understand the time and effort needed to do so. Too bad a forum post couldn't be setup in that manner. Instead of posts being sorted by date posted, sorted in similar groups based on wheel/tire setup.

17x8 with 245/45 and 17x9 with 275/40.  Car lowered 1 1/2 inch all the way around.


@Shane Kelley - I know this is an old post but curious how you lowered the front? I backed off the torsion bars to drop mine but then couldn't get an alignment right. looked awesome though (:
PS - I have 17x8 Cragar's front & back.

The more rake you put in a mopar, the harder it is to get it to align. if you drop it consistently all around, you can still maintain some decent angles.

Moog offset upper control arm bushings for low cost, or tubular arms with revised geometry, are the two most effective ways of restoring alignment angles.

I went with Foose Knuckle wheels 18x8 with 245/45R18 in the front and 18x9.5 with 275/40R18 in the back. For the tires I went with Nitto NT555 G2's. Stock suspension and fit with no issues or rubbing. Actually could have went larger in the rear. I'm happy.  8)

Nice! What backspacing did you end up using?

918Muscle

I believe the back spacing was 4.5 for the front and 5.25 for the rear.
