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

@dave73chally
Thanks! I took my inspiration from Mitch's and Brad's cars.
I've got 1.12" TBs (thinking about going larger) - the front end doesn't move much when I jump up/down on the bumper.  DrDiff brake kit moves the track out by 3/16" per side so the offset needs factor that in.  If the car were lowered more the fender brace would start to get in the way.

With a stock E-body rear, the wheels would have fit but they would be much too close the the leafs for comfort and would have rubbed the fender with something heavy in the rear. I think a 1" relo and an offset change would have worked.  I wanted the B-body rear for the increased wheel options in the future.

Back when I was in high school in the 70's Ronnie Sox was the man, so we all went with the Pro Stock look. I had the 10" Cragars and skinny Cragars on my 70 RT and I'm going back with the Pro Stock look on my Cuda build. So 10" Cragars with 275/60R/15 on the back and 4.5" Cragars with 165/80R/15 on the front. Air shocks a must have.

235X60X15 and 245X60X15. 15X7 rims all around because of the backspace of the torquthrusts and stock E-body rear. I like the road ready look on a Challenger.

275/60/15 on back with eight inch rims. 235/60/15 with 7 inch rims on front, not sure of backspace but I am about 1/2 an inch from the leafs. Also running air shocks.

Three posts on this page alone about people running air shocks. Thought they were a big no no?

These cars were not meant to run air shocks, which hammer the shock support.  They eventually will crack or break the support.  You can arc your springs inside of running air shocks, or just by tires that fit.  Run them at your own risk.

It's for the old school look and I ran air shocks back in the 70's for 4 years straight. The air shocks were already on the car when I got it and who knows how long before me and never a issue or breakage of anything. Now fast forward to 2017 and realize that we only drive our cars how many miles a year???? Yes you can buy or arch your springs and in my opinion it looks like A$$. Just one mans opinion.

235 60 15 front,. 255 60 15 rear. Had F60 15 polyglas, got rid of them.

Looking good @Todd489! Are those factory 15x7 rims? I'm thinking you have the best combo and I'm leaning that way for my build. How about a photo from directly behind your car? I'd like to see what the 255's look like from a width standpoint. 

[Todd489]

Yes, 15x7. Factory repo wheels,. I will get more pics from the rear this weekend.
