Sorry, I couldn't find rally rims either. I did put YearOne's 17" Magnums on a Challenger last year....

I applaud Year One for offering these 17" rims... with 275-40-17 tires they should fit any/all E-bodies.. and their back-spacing is correct to retain the centering of the wheel/tire in the wheel-well same as the 15x7 factory wheel combos.   I wish, however, that they'd also offer the same rims in 10" width, and... in 18" diameter.. since there's more tire brand choices, and the ever-so-imortant TW ratings (of 200 TW) available in the 18" sizes... a 275-35-18 tire, in 200 TW rating, is what I'm interested... mounted on 18x10 rims front and rear.

I may someday get a set of the 17x9 rims...  front and rear, with 275-40-17 tires... in 200 TW rating (but I believe there's only 1 or 2 tire brand choices.    I like keeping the Mopar appearance, but, I also like the vintage mini-lite 8-spoke rims (I have 2-sets... 15x8 with 255-60f, 275-60r T/As for street/hwy driving, and 16x8 with 255-50-16 BFG G-Force Comp-II for HPDE/HSAX competition... until they wear out... then maybe get a set of Hossier A6 or R6 255-50-16s onto these 16x8 rims).... I also have a set of 16x10 lt-wt racing rims with Hoosier A6 275-45-16 f/r tires used for pylon autocrossing, but these tires are old and corded... eventually to be replaced.

Autocross/road racers go in deeper... and come out harder!

I agree they need to make these in 18x10" with a 5.5 backspacing to suit the popular B-Body width
rear end swap. :drool:
If you want 17" & 18" minilite style they are available.

Those minilights in 16" look good also. Considering an AR 17" wheel that is very sinilar to TQs but have straight spokes with a raised edge in the middle of the spoke like Rocket wheels from back in the day. Nitto has 255/50/17 and 275/50/17 . i think they would look great and handel decently.

Ask and you shall receive. This car was at Mopars at the Strip last weekend in Vegas. Car needed to be lowered in the front imo.

Here's a few of my car, 17x8 all around.  I'm really happy with the look of the wheels on their own, as well as how they look on the car.  Much more proportional to the size of the wheel well and the car than the originals.
