Yea... That's the problem...currently the 17 X 8's are not available in the Magum style, only 9's.
Also just noticed that the Magnums have more backspacing then the Ralley rims :screwy: on the same width rim ? Is that a good thing or bad ?

Not sure, you would have to do some measuring? Up front the tie rod is usually  what prevents more backspacing and on the rear it's the leaf spring.
PS shocks are off my car if your still interested other wise I'll put them on Kijiji?

If not sure, more BS gives you option to play with spacer. Not much you can do with not enough BS. I have the YO 8 front, 9 back on my car over 6 M and love it. Aluminum is soft and you will get some scratches from normal use.

Hard to say? The rotors your using are almost an 1" bigger than mine? It should fit but that's only a guess? I doubt a 9" rim will fit even with custom backspacing if everything is stock ( fenders etc...) but I don't know for sure.


A 9" rim will fit just fine. I have 17x9's all the way around on my Challenger, with 275/40/17 tires. Backspace on my rims is 5", same as the backspace on the 17" year one rallye's. I had to do some fender lip trimming on the passenger side to clear the 275/40/17's, but with a 255/45/17 you'd have plenty of clearance even on an unmodified car.

Yea... That's the problem...currently the 17 X 8's are not available in the Magum style, only 9's.

It says that the 17x8" Magnums are being retooled, so they will be available again in the future. No date given, so I suppose it depends on where you're at with your project.

More backspace is a GOOD thing. 5" of backspace will work in the front, but I had to do a little fender lip trimming on the passenger side fender to get my 275/40/17's to work. 5.125" would be perfect. Any more than that and you'd run into tie rod interference problems. With my 17x9's and 5" of backspace I have about 3/16" to 1/4" to the tie rod end, but that may vary a little with the style of the rim lip.

BUT, most aftermarket disk brake kits increase the track width of the car. Dr. Diff's kits move the wheels out 3/16", most of the Willwood kits are about the same (not all, some are more, some are less). So having more backspace is usually a good thing. You can also add a small spacer if you have too much backspace, anything less than a 1/4" is no big deal. But if you don't have enough backspace you're just out of luck, so having a bit more is good.

As far as the rotor clearance goes, that's always something to look at when getting aftermarket rims. Part of it is the size of those brakes, but the calipers matter too. Wilwood calipers might clear where the Viper calipers might not, or vice versa. Could even depend on which spindle was used. As far as the Viper calipers hitting, it was on the inside of the rim lip, not on the spoke part of the rim. So, something smaller than that 13" kit might be ok. But since the wilwood kit uses different calipers, all you can do is go to wilwoods site and look at the diagrams for wheel clearance. Or try to find someone else running big rotors with those rims.

Here's a look at the passenger front fender on my car with the 17x9's with 5" backspace and 275/40/17's. My car also sits pretty low, so the fender trimming I had to do may not apply to everyone (and I didn't have to do it on the driver's side, so part of it is just body tolerances)

I am thinking i might get these 17"Rallye wheels in 8's and 9's but do like the guy on the Charger forum did and run a 295/45 on the rear and a 255/50 on the front, they look that little bit better with a larger sidewall in my opinion. :2thumbs:

 :popcorn: I'm thinking these might just be the ticket to get more use out of my car. I like the idea of the bigger rear tires for a car that is not a road racer. Would love to see some more pics.

Right now Yearone has a promotion where you receive and extra 10% when you purchase a gift certificate.  Buy $1000 and receive $1100.  Not bad since the wheels are a discount exempt item it's like getting 10% off.

In my opinion, his back tires are too small...I'm thinking 275/50/17's would look better.

The more i look at these, the more i like them. I would have the outer rim highly polished to simulate the chrome trim rings more i think. :grinyes:

Seeing as Year One is a site sponsor maybe they would offer a group buy????

I personally like the 17x9 rims.. and the backspacing is correct to fit our e-bods.  The pricing is, especially, pretty reasonable.  The only issue I have concluded is that the largest tires that will fit are 275-40-17s and NO tire company offers a 200 tread wear rated performance tire in that size, or even a little larger.  Maybe they could offer 18"x9-1/2" or better yet 10" wide rims and then we'd be in business with 200 tread wear tires.  I have a leaning desire for competition road course and autocross events that specifically have club rules which are more commonly restricting the tread wear (softness/grip) to that magical number of 200.  (OR.. if the tire companies would offer 200 in a 275 size of 17 diameter, then.. I'd more seriously consider buying these cool 17x9 rims.
Autocross/road racers go in deeper... and come out harder!
