Lets see some pics of 17" rims on B-bodys - 03/24/10 01:20 AM

Thinking of getting some 17" magnum rims for my 69 Charger. Not sure if I'll like the look over 15" rims. Anyone have any pics? currently have 15x10" in rear and 15"x6" on the front. Converting to street after drag racing for 15 years.

thanks

use 255/50R17's, and you'll have enough sidewall/tire height so it won't look goofy. search the general section, there's a number of threads like this.

Just posted this in the general section 10 minutes ago

17x7" with 235/45/ZR17s Front
18x9.5" with 295/45/ZR18s Rear (28.5" tall)

Centerline Softtail Wheels
Nitto NT555 Tires

I had 15" Cragars on it originally. They looked good but I hated having unilugs. Also, the weight difference between the Cragars and the Centerline's was incredible!

I am looking at getting some 17's for my 70 roadrunner also. I heard that 17x8's with a 235 55 17 tires looks and fit pretty well.

No pics though, sorry.

I believe that's stock size on the newer mustangs...

17 x 8 Mag500s all around

Its the only thing that looks right (to me) for 15" + rims on a B-Body

That looks good!

Probably alot easier to get than "15 nowadays to.
"14 tire availability is a joke
