I haven't seen anyone do this that I'm aware of. I would like to see the result though if you give it a try.

I’ve thought about going this route with the new Lightweight Carbon SRT wheels from the Widebody.
I just don’t want to be the Guinea pig.
I would like to see if anyone has tried this however.

I'm currently running 315s on back with replica wheels without issue. So I think it's doable, but I'd love a reputable source for reference prior to buying anything.
The only issue I see is that the Lil Devil flares don't extend as far out as the WB flares so the WB wheels will poke.

Wouldn't you have rubbing issues to on the fender? The widebodys are clearanced there to allow for proper wheel movement without rubbing. That's the one thing I haven't figured out with those that run wider rims and the flares. How do you keep from hitting your fender if you hit a bump or go over a speed bump at anything but a crawl? I've been debating on these since I bought my car but that's my real hesitation with going bigger wheels and flares.

I saw that thread.... unfortunately conflicting info in it. So still up for debate.

My current rear tires stick out of the factory fender, but have plenty of room with the lil devil fenders. Granted I don't think they stuck out 1.5". However, I probably have at least 1 or more inches left to play with.

Done right you can fit 12” of drag radial under the car

If that’s not enough tire you could do a mini tub and custom shock tower

Or you could always cut up yer kids swimming pool

You won’t be able to level the car if you go that route tho : )

Not really an issue unless the car is lowered or you have any extreme amount of weight in the trunk and back seats. There's enough fender gap on a stock Hellcat at stock ride height to avoid any clearance issues. Dodge just played it safe and cut out more clearance as I would expect for a factory vehicle.

Would love to know how. The fitment in that photo looks really good.

11" wheels with 315/35s barely fit--the sidewall protrudes just a tad (all of the contact patch is under the fender), and at extreme compression slightly rubs the rib in the well.
Is the 12" drag radial a lower profile, much shorter tire or something?

The one I am running is 1.5” taller than my oem tire. Wanted biggest possible footprint at the track

91.4” rollout @ 24 psi

I have no means to accurately measure the diameter but 91.4 divided by 3.14159 is 29.1”

10.5” wheel with 6.8” back space tucks a 3580 mickey without pounding the rib in no problem on my ‘16. Even after I set the camber to 0°

So a 10.5" wheel with 17mm ET, 3580 MTs are 305/45-18 right? Looks like those are still 20" wheels on back. I guess 18 looks close to 20 from a distance.
Which wheels are those? They look nice.

When you said 12" I was thinking wheel width not tire width. I already knew you could fit 305 fairly well under there. It's 315s that start to get really tight and sometimes rub.

Gotta just love how wheels and tires use a crazy mix of inches, mm, and ratios to describe them.

Think I’m in the lane next to the guy that invented offset:

18” front n back. They are the super expensive imported jobs lol. race star (almost $130 ea ha). Thanks!

I said 12” for the same reason mickey prolly advertises them as they do? Real slicks were always measured in inches. Tread width, height and rim diameter. I bet Mickey did the radials like this for street guys that would order too large of a tire? Section width is more lame than wheel offset cuz it changes from rim to rim. 3580 is 11.8 on a 10” rim. My rim is 10.5 so prolly 12”? Whatever 3580 (305) has 1/4” wider tread than 17” 3572 (305). And it’s a inch taller. Don’t know how many more square inch of contact but it’s more. Same amount of sidewall to wrinkle. Mickey doesn’t make a 315 in a 18 in the et street R and the 17 they do make is huge. Over 30”. My M&H fronts are barely over 28 tall and wanted 1” stagger max. Zero chance the puter applies front brake. Looks better too imo
