Default Got my White letter tires on today.!!

I was almost as excited about getting the tires on
as I was about getting the Challenger.. (almost)

I think it looks killer now..
.

.

..

.
and a stock one for comparison..


for those that are interested,
the new tires are BFGoodrich Long Trail TA
255/70/17 in back,, 225/65/17 in front..

These are the ONLY tires you can get with white letters that do both sizes in a 17"..

It came stock with 28" tires..
The backs are 31x10.25 ,, the fronts are 28.5x9
It raised it a full 2" in the rear..
(they also make a 255/65/17 = 30x10.25.)

More pics and larger pics are at:
Challenger pics


(and I have even larger ones, uncompressed..)

I like the look of the white letters. But are you seeing any rubbing when you compress the suspension? Looks pretty tight in the wheel well now.

First off when I read the subject of the post I thought ...OH NO....but then I saw the[sm=Flahssssss.gif] pictures and now I think only on that color Challenger and maybe the white Challenger.....those tires look great on that color BLUE.....and I don't know if thats the B5-Blue or not but whatever it is ,its one awesome blue and those raised white lettered tires look cool on THAT car!! Good luck with it, Fat Cat[sm=gears.gif]

I agree with fatcat...
When I saw the post I thought it would look tacky. I think they look great!

Hey brother, that thing looks absolutely great with the raised white letter tires. Not a fit for all models, but wow, the SE definitely makes them work! Nice touch, even a little old school with the larger tires in the rear!
