New Magnum wheels and tires
« on: October 25, 2006 - 07:51:14 PM »
Purchased from Summitracing BFG 275 60 15's with Magnum 10" BS 5.5 for the rear and BFG 235 60 15's with Magnum 8" 4.5 BS.

They fit great and look even better.

Price to my door for 1007.00 Plus Center Caps from ebay for 120. Will post pics when I can get some good pictures.

I have driven it for last 3 days with about 70 miles in all and have had no issues at all. It is a little tight on one of my leaf springs but all is good.

Did the picture come out because I can see it. Maybe it was too large or something but the aviator pic is the same picture.

I'll get some more when I get a chance.

They look great!  I did the same thing (see avatar photo), although I kept the tires to 235/60/15 all around.

Mike, I would be intrested in seeing more pictures of your car. You don't see to many white challengers much less 73's. Did you go with the 8" all the way around?

I was also thinking of the blackout hood.

Here are some for you.  My wheels are 15x7 all around. 

If you go with the hood decal, paint the scoop inserts white to match the hood. And you're right, aside from T/As, you don't see many white Challengers. Come spring I'll be adding the T/A decklid spoiler and the longitudinal stripe and removing the rear bumper guards.  Front guards are already removed and I just got new bumper bolts to fill the holes where the guards used to be.  Interior door and seat panels are currently at Just Dashes for re-finishing, should have them back around Christmas.
