What size tires are you running? What about the back spacing? Have you driven with them yet? Any clearance issues? I really lik ethose rims and want to get them for my next Challenger...

The front's are 245/45-17 on 17x8 with 0 offset. The rear's are 275/40-17 on 17x9 with a 25mm offset. That is the smallest offset offered and I don't need that much. As a consequence, I'm having to use spacers to get it off the spring. 5/16" gives me a 1/4" off of the spring. Not much, but it should work. The car hasn't made it back from the paint booth yet, so no road time. There is sufficient room to use a 1/2" spacer and have plenty of clearance both front and rear, but I want to run the smallest spacer I can.
295's will fit in the rear with the stock spring location, but backspacing is critical. They won't fit with 0 offset. My car has the stock rear and it measures 5 1/2" from edge of fender to face-of-drum, and 6 1/2" from face-of-drum to spring. 0-offset puts you almost an inch into the fender lip. (Learned that the expensive way)
ChallengerGary - I like the Boyd's Smoothies, too. They were an equal choice for me. It was the price difference and the fact that I'd seen them on several cars (I like to be different) that lead me to the HotWheels.
