New Rims 4/23/09

40 offset, huh. Any rubbing, iu tried to run that and had to go back to 52, it was rubbing so much in the rear without rolling fender and occasionally in the front on lock to lock turns. What tires did you go with? Looks like 225/35/19 and 225/30/20.

Looks great, Now you'll never be able to go back to 19" in the back, watch, lol.

my fenders are rolled so i only really rub from body roll when i go into turns fast. im getting an eibach rear sway bar in a week so that should help alot.
im running 225/35/19 in the front and 225/30/20 in the rear. your right about the 20 in the back that extra inch makes the rim look so much better i cant explain it.

If you run 20's in the rear and 19's in the front...is it noticeable or obvious looking?

for someone who's not into cars no they wouldn't notice. but for a car guy yea mainly because the series tires. the sidewall in the front is bigger the sidewall in the rear.

Gotcha.

So why do 20's look better in the rear?

Is there a larger gap because my wheels rub more in the rear and I have my fenders rolled flat.

Just picked up a camber kit because my only option now is to camber in the wheels.

I like the fitment of those wheels. Looks really nice. The first set of pictures i wasn't really feeling it, except the last one. The second set of pics posted were more convincing. Post more if you got em.

BTW, is the paint coming off around the front wheel well, or is that mud? Pic 5 first set. If the paints coming off, how did that happen

to your first statement yea the fitment is perfect i love the flush look. oh yea im not much of picture taker but i do want to get some better pics. the paint is chipping a little around area that but its not serious its an 8 year old car so it wont be perfect. im more focused on my s/c so ill address that issue when im done with the charger.

^ Your link doesn't work.

Best bet is to create a new thread under the Photo Gallery so we can check out/comment on your ride.
