Oh most definitely Widebody Challenger or Widebody Charger, same fitments, We have sold them for both.
So these fit without any modifications? Also what would the widest tire you would recommend running with these wheels?
thanks.
Correct aside from short end links or compressing the rear suspension you are good to go.
@[email protected] can you confirm these 71HB7110W62A would fit the rear of the standard bodied 2015 HC Challenger? I’d much prefer 11 wide over 10 with a M/T 305 45 R17. Thanks.
On my 2018 charger I ran 315s without any issues. So I need to install shorter rear swaybar links to make 315s w/17” wheels work on my 2021 widebody redeye. I’m currently running p zero summer tires that are 315/35/20s without any issue On all 4 corners
Unfortunately those 17x11s are Widebody fitment only, 17x11 will poke about 1.5" or so. Designed to sit flush with Widebody fenders.
The 17x10 is the only option for a standard body currently.
Which we have in-stock: Weld Racing RT-S S71 17x10 / 5x115mm BP / 6.7in. BS Black Drag Wheel (High Pad) - Non-Beadlock #71HB7100W67A
Normally if not in-stock, any new Weld build orders are 6 to 8 weeks.
Correct widebody can run 17x11 or 17x10 on 315/50R17 ET Street R tires. ETA on those to be built and shipped is 6 to 8 weeks.
Thanks for the quick reply @[email protected]. I’ve got the Phillips Lil Devil fender flares on my car so they do extend out a bit. I’ll have to check into it a little more to decide. Thanks again.
Sounds good! It may work out for you then.
Just wanted to let you know those 17x11's should work with the Phillips flares. That offset is actually 1.3mm less (inward) than what Phillips recommendation is for their 11.5" wheel and 335 wide tire. However, if you're planning to run a 315/50/17 it may rub the outer lip/flare if you're lowered at all since it's a tall tire. If you're on stock springs it should be just fine.
@HellcatMatt Great info thanks Matt. So if you think I can get away with the 315 then the 305 on the 11 inch wide rim should be a bunt. Btw, the car is stock height on stock springs.
I certainly would do the 315's, I think they look so much better. If you go that route, I'd love to see some pictures. I'm waiting on my Phillips flares and I'm changing a couple different wheel setups to accommodate them as well.
I should also add with that 315/50/17 being such a big bulgy tire, I would guess you may have a little poke past the flares. They are a very big tire I just wanted to point out that the wheel offset you were asking about should work just fine. The 305/45's will probably look small (my opinion). I just wish they had something in between.
If you decide on the 305/45/17, I would actually consider the 18x11 Weld S71's with 305/45/18's. You get the same sidewall but an inch overall taller tire. It will fill the wheel wells much better and help a little more with contact patch (taller tire = LONGER patch, its not all about width). The 18x11 is a 6.1BS which would be 1.7mm further out than the Phillips setup or 3mm (1/8") more than the 17x11 you inquired about. Hope this all helps
