I thought you already had the 315s on Ariel?

Hey Emil! Not yet, still on 295's
I'm debating on whether to use them for the last time at the 2017 Spring Fling track day at Willow Springs.
My 295's still have good tread on them but are a few years old and may have heat cycled out already?
The 315's will need more neg camber and higher ride height adjustments hopefully they dont rub too bad!

Boo-yah!

These were with the Nitto 555s. I now have the Nitto NT 05s but the sizes are the same.

You bought that car from Steve. It's a really nice ride. A lot of effort went into that thing.

Don't be afraid to make it yours but definitely take care of it.

Frankenduster -- your 70 Charger is awesome and beautiful! I used to own a daily driver 70 500.. drove it coast-coast on a vacation.

Thanks, Mitch. I enjoy the car. I've considered a few changes in the interest of better street manners. I had a Gear Vendors overdrive but removed and sold it 2 years ago. I may consider a SST A41 type 4 speed OD someday.

Would you mind telling us your rim / tire sizes under the charger Frankenduster? Looks fabulous fitting! As the whole charger does!

Thanks for the kind words. I often get people telling me that a 15" Cragar or Ralleye would be better but I like a car to corner better than a 15" tire would allow. I had 16" IROC wheels on a mildly prepped 76 Camaro , that car had 245-50-16s and handled great. When I bought this Charger, my goal was to surpass that Camaro in every way. Power, appearance and performance. I'm just a working guy like most so money isn't flowing like rain water in Seattle.
The wheels on the Charger are made by Intro Wheel Company in Monrovia CA. They were not cheap but they had the look that I wanted. In 2003 they were approximately $2000. The design was newwhen I bought them and I expected the prices to fall a bit over time. They have not. They are still not cheap. I like the traditional 5 spoke look but these are called "Twisted Vista" because they have curved spokes to appear like the heels are trying to outspin the car. They are directional too. This means since the front and rears are different widths, each wheel is specific to each corner. To the point: Fronts are 18x9 with 4 3/4" backspace. Tires in these pictures are a 275-40-18 Nitto 555 with a 300TW. The rears are 18x10 with the same 4 3/4 BS. The axle in these pictures is a 66-67 B body unit which is something like 5/8" narrower overall as compared to a stock 68-70 B body. Rear tires are the same Nitto 295-45-18 in the 300 TW.

Frankenduster, I think you mentioned before that you switched to an 11" converter and really liked it on the street. Which brand did you go with?
My 9.5" Dynamic works great but with 3.23 gears I want something tighter, especially if I go with an overdrive eventually.

Hello,
I dealt with Lenny Crouteau at Ultimate Converter Concepts. They were a sponsor here, they may still be. I also run a 3.55 gear.
Still loving it!

OK thank you

18x9.5 shelby mustang wheels with spacers and some piant 255/40 ft 295/35 rear

I put some replica minilites on mine from ET wheels in the Oakland, CA area. They have off the shelf sizes and will do custom offsets. http://www.etmags.com/lt_iii.html

That's a sweet looking Cuda, really like those wheels.

Here's what I have on the Duster currently. 17"X7" front and 17"X12" rear Huntington wheels.

nstlg1970 -- your rims (and car) are stunning!!!!!! I love the minilite rims (I have 2-sets... 15x8 for cruising and 16x8 for HSAX/road course lapping)... may someday get the same ~18"ers that you have!

For any of those guys with the 18" meats on an A-body. With a tape measure, can any of you tell me what the outside tire to outside tire measurement is?

No expensive stuff here, I'm running ESR wheels. 18x9.5 +22 up front, 18x10.5 +22 rear. One inch spacers on all 4 corners, 3/4 probably would have been better in the rear, but I'm cheap and bought them off cl locally for $50. Tires are 274/35_18 Bridgestone potenzas up front, 295/45-18 nitto nt555s rear. Picture is test fit, note front caps don't fit, but do now with the brake upgrade.

JohnGlen -- nice and sharp lookin' Challenger!!!
