The new Challenger's wheel well openings are much larger than the original's, a dinky little 15" tire on a new one, no matter how wide, I think would look way too goofy in those wide wheel wells. But hey, to each his own.

its funny some of you are considering smaller wheels. I too will opt for at the largest 18's. 15's w/ big rubber would look cool i think

RE: Planned mods for your new Challenger
I was planning on installing a cold air intake when I get my 2009 SRT, but now I am having second thoughts.
I have read that the metal intake tubes on some after-market systems conduct heat and they do not produce the same level of sound as an "open" cone-type filter. (Note- "Cones" are not advisable because of high under-hood temperatures). Also, a cold air return is a waste of $300 if you do not use a Diablo or Predator tuner and, possibly, a cat-back system.
Since the cold air intake on the SRT is a good one, I am now thinking about just adding a panel-type high-flow air filter, similar to what was installed on the 2006 Challenger concept.
Has anyone tested this set-up?

The C&L is an aluminum piping which is the best for heat disapation. Most others use poly tubing, but I agree that you need a predator tune to get the most out of it.
