 Hey cuda x 3

Don't do it,, It's not worth it

just get the 3/4" kit relo kit.  The 3" kit is useless unless you start chopping into the frame.
The 3/4" kit moves the spring out of the wheelwell and you can use the 10" wheels anyway.  On the white car the 295/50s on the back still have at least 1/2' extra space to move them in more if I had the offset wheels to do it.

The 3" kit will wreck the car's resale value (in my opinion) but the 3/4" bolt in set is completely reversible..

I have the kit that 360cuda is talking about with M/T 28x11.50-15 on 10" wheels, I have plenty of room, I think the tire size you are talking about is 325/50r15 - they should work with proper offset. I am assuming you are going to be running drag radials? I am planning the same rear tire combo on my challenger, keep us updated with how it's coming.

 Any update on stuffing the 325/50/15's under a Challenger yet? The sectional width on the BFG drag radials is 13" and the sectional width on my 295 BFG's is 12.2
 Anyone got pics of a Challenger that has done this? I'd love to see one with this much meat under it.
