Any Challengers running the above mentioned tire size? Curious to see how it looks and has performed on the street. Pics pls if you have 'em.

I'm actually curious about this as well. I have those tires in a 305-35-20 and can imagine with a 50 sidewall that it would look aestheticlly better and fill up that wheel gap much better.

Only downside from preventing me to try that size is that you sacrifice speed rating from 168 mph to 149 mph and the bigger sidewall tire is 10 pounds heavier per tire according to discount tires website.

I have that size 555RII in my regular body 2020HC with 20x11 HR5 wheels.
Work and look great but you wont get much more than 3k miles out of them which is fine for me since I put only about2k on it per year.

Thanks, doesnt look like much more of a sidewall. If you can grab an actual side shot it would be much appreciated. I really thought 35 to 50 wld be a big visual difference.

I think he has the 35 sidewall on 20" wheels.

Yeah Id like to create a slight rake visually and have a Challenger old school vibe.

 

[Barbell_Cat_717]

Interesting I got about 5k miles out of them daily driving and that includes several burnouts at the track with them as well. I'd probably would have gotten more if I didn't use them at the track.

Varooom are you sure you have the 555r2 in that size? It looks like a 35 sidewall in the pic instead of a 50. A 50 sidewall compared to a 35 sidewall would be a big difference.

Right there with you brother. Sometimes I cringe when I see too much rear gap in the rear with my car. I feel like I have to compensate and either run a taller tire with a thicker sidewall or lower the rear end a little and or both. Muscle cars usually have a big thick tire in the rear and the frame seems to sit lower and doesn't expose much if any rear wheel gap giving it that beefy look.

 

[TheRedKey]

Anyone know if the speedo is affected via the rear axles?

 

[Varooom]

Barbell_Cat_171. You are right, I am wrong. They are 35s.
Sorry for the mix up.

I love the old school raked look. The stance is really aggressive and is nostalgic for me. Our tire options for width and compound really isn't a long list. I tried pretty much all that Nitto had to offer at 315 width and was thinking of going to the 888Rs but 325/30 seemed like the tread life, ride quality, and higher price kept me from trying them out. I think after my NT05Rs are toast I'm going to try some Michelins.

Tiresize.com has some great comparison tools...from size to rotation worth a look!

Thanks. Although nothing like a real world pic if its out there...

From TireSize.com...
"It would typically be the rear, but these days I can't say for 100% certain. I'm not sure you will be able to run a 32" tire though. It's just a pretty big jump in diameter. The safe range for a non-modified vehicle is around 3%, this change is over 10%. Obviously adjustable springs will allow you to modify the ride height so that will give you a chance. "

Also he thinks the speedo is connected to the rear axle. I'm waiting to hear form my Dodge service advisor.

"Safe as in, the generally accepted diameter tolerance by manufacturers for alternate tire sizes. If you're using an alternate size on your vehicle for no particular reason and not modifying its capability of using a different tire size, then staying within 3% gives you the best chance of it working out. With modern vehicles there can be systems in place such as all-wheel-drive, traction control, anti-lock brake systems etc. that may not function properly when there is too big of a difference between the tire diameters. For instance, anti-lock brakes can use the difference in tire rotation to determine if a tire is sliding. If the rear tires are rotating slower than the front tires, the system could think that the rear tires are sliding a little bit and activate the anti-lock braking system every time you push the brakes.

We don't have specific instances to go off of with every vehicle to be able to inform everyone on what is going to work and what isn't. We have to use general rules and parameters that apply for most situations and then try to help inform those who are going outside those parameters of things to look out for. You're clearly an enthusiast that's modifying your vehicle in a number of ways to make it how you want. With that comes the possibility of issues arising that you might need to address.

I can't say for certain there will be any issue at all with your vehicle in particular, but going to a 32" is a big difference. If you had said your car is stock and you had no intention to modify the suspension for that tire size, I would say I don't think it's going to work out. If you have the capability to raise it up enough, then you can probably get it to fit. I don't know how much room there is specifically though, even around the tire sides not just straight up.

You going to have to test fit it and see what happens."

There’s wheel speed sensors on the hub at the axle you can adjust tire size/rear with hp tuners, but the Speedo should automatically adjust

 

[Unholy707]

Bump, anyone get this? Sounds like a mean street tire

 

[VancityCat]

this would be close to the same size as a truck tire wouldn’t it?

 

[Ronconn]

I have Mickey Thompson 305 45 20 on voxx 10.5 wheels. I had to use 25 mm adapters because of the ribs on the inner wheel well. Also DRS brace.

Did you run the 305/45r20 on the front and that's where it rubbed or did the rears rub too?

 

[Ronconn]

On the back… it rubbed on the ribs in the rear on the body under the plastic inner wheel well.. also had to massage the plastic slightly. The tire is 31 inches tall..12 inches wide.
