    Best source for Magnum 500 wheels?
    « on: May 04, 2006 - 04:50:46 AM »
    I am looking to put 15x7 up front and 15x8 on back on my 70 Challenger.....who has the best deal on rims,caps, trim rings?

    Is there more then one Manufacture on these?

    Does everyone think this is a good combo?

    I think the 15 inch rims will make the car look better then the 14in on it now  plus the larger tires in back will give a better look.


    Thanks,
    stuart

    Sounds like a good combo.  I agree with you on the 15".  I have the 14" Magnums and from the side they look Ok but from the front 3/4 shot they look kinda dinky (small).

    What size tire are you going to use?  You can check out the "sticky" in this section for E-body tire combos.

    Here is a company that has them. http://www.stocktonwheel.com/oem_wheels.htm

    Just don't go crazy on the front tires, or they might rub. If you go 60 series all around, then 235's up front, and 275's in back will work.

    For some reason, E bodys handle the road best with 14x70 in front and 14x60 in back but on the start, it's hard to keep them babk tires from spinning Too much!

    I've ordered several sets from Summit Racing. Great people, no shipping charges.
    I usually run 15 x 7's on the front with P235/60SR15 Goodrich T/A's and 15 x 8's on the rear with P255/60SR15's. No rubbing, nice stance, no problems.
