15" rallye wheels
« on: February 14, 2017 - 08:41:33 PM »
I've got 14" rallye wheels up front and 15" rallyes in the rear on my challenger. I'm wanting to overhaul the brake system and put some 11.75" disc brakes up front with dr diff discs in the rear. The car bottoms out at the headers like it is on the driveway so I might gain some height up front too up sizing

Anything to consider clearance wise upping the size to 15" in the front? Where's the best place to get 15" rallye wheels these days? I thought about 17s but I'm less than satisfied with how wheels that big look on these e bodies. I understand that limits me, but don't care.

I have changed tire sizes a few times on my 70 Challenger. Up front, I started with 14"/225's, then 15" 235's, and now 15" 245's. I upgraded to 15"s to be able to run the Dr's 11.75" discs up front. Besides the tire size, you can gain some clearance with the torsion bar setting too.
The rears I started with 14" 245's, then 15x7" 255's, and now 15x8" 275's with no clearance issues with the stock rear setup.
 What brand headers are you running?

They're hooker super comp headers... I've got flange leaks on the collector from scraping going into my garage from the driveway. Need to get it fixed so I don't get CO poisoning while I drive. It's pretty bad but the headers are not damaged it's the flange

That's one reason for the switch but the main reason is the brakes. I'll probably have to build some kind of ramp to clear regardless
