Some are running larger, but some have problems with anything larger. 68 Charger, 383 HP console auto, spring green, stock restoration

Some are running larger, but some have problems with anything larger. A big bluky tire up front would look funny. I use 215/75/15's or a 225/70/15 up front and 275/60/15's out back.

No problems on my 68 charger. Scatpk has a similar setup and I believe he said he had run 395-50-15 drag radials under his GTX w/ no problems,D. Last edited by bigD; 12/11/08 12:22 AM.

Outside diameters are about the same & I (and others) think they look great. Got everything from Coker as a package deal. 4870904-IMG_0496.jpg (87 downloads)
