Welcome to the site. Nice cars! You're using the wheel size/combo that I was thinking to use on my Challenger; What back spacing? 4.5"? Any fitment issues?  :wave:

thanks for the comments guy actually the cuda will go hard top beleive it or not, @ LA666 im from Edwards AFB and @  jimynick i used a 5 1/2 back spacing no fitment issues and no rubbing at this time running a 275 tire as well going to go to a 285 next time around. like any car thoe each car is different just double check the measurements.

Looks like a tawny gold GY9 car with a beige interior. You have tags for it?
