Did you check out the thread stickied at the top of this board about tires and wheel combos?

I did a lot of looking at Moparfest last summer. A lot of cars had 245s on the back. 275s seemed to be the second most common. I think I'll go with 255s on my Challenger. 275s had the wheel well rather full.
In search of the eternal buzz!

I'm runnning 245/60/15 BFG T/A's on 15x7" rims front, 275/60/15 BFG's on 15x8" back.  My rims are Wheel Vintique rally wheels which are great in my opinion.  If I change anything, I'll probably go to a b body rear which would allow me to run 10" wide rims on back, but I'm very happy with how it looks & rides with what I have.  Mine is a currently a street car only, no 1/4 mile or track days so far.  If I were to change that I'd probably be looking for better rubber pretty quick.
