Did they ever get around to putting a decent size tire on thes cars? That was my biggest issue with this platform is that they only put a 255/265 on them. Looks funny
Finally Twin Screwed! HellCat...

They come with 275 all season pirellis as standard equipment but you have the option of the 275 summer pirellis. No traction with either lol
You can get a set of 20x10.5 or 20x11 replicas for about $200 a wheel.
Slap some drag radials on and your in business.
+65000
Beer included if you shop at the right places
I'm glad to see other people prefer the Charger over the Challenger. I just personally like the looks better on the sedan. Plus it's a sedan... with 707hp....
I went cruising with a 2015 Hellcat Challenger this weekend on Skyline Dr that had the same paint option. That paint is absolutely ridiculous in the sunlight. I've never seen something with so much flake.

I want to be able to hear the radio....Said no man ever
What year? Charger? I wanted B5 or Jazz Blue but couldnt find a good one
Ohhh WHYUMAD haha. We did copy each other. You miss the Jeep? I dont...
Ya 275s, not sure why. Chargers can fit a 315/35 no problem but I think the Challenger need to massage the wheel wells a bit
Ability to fit a 18x10.5 315/30/17 slick (not drag radial) on all four corners and this sedan would make me get a chubby. Big bully to a Gen1/2 CTSV lol

You can fit a 305 MT on the factory wheel. They would hook better than a 315 Nitto. Plus the factory forged wheels are much lighter than the replicas.
Jeez, if I ever decide to get back into the car world again, it'll be hard pressed to pass up on a HC Charger.
Very nice 15, didn't realize those rims were an option. Looks great

I am a secret admirer of these cars. My energies are going to to many projects. Maybe one day I can have em all. Haha...

You can put a 305 on the stock 9.5" wheels, but the contact patch is going to be smaller due to the more narrow wheel.
Here is the difference between 9.5" stock wheel and an 11" wide replica wheel, both wrapped in the same 305/35/20 555R tire:
Wow, that is quite the difference. Do you have any close up pictures of how the 11" rear wheel looks on the car? Does it stick out past the quarter panel lip at all?You can put a 305 on the stock 9.5" wheels, but the contact patch is going to be smaller due to the more narrow wheel.

I bought 275 MT ET s/s drag radials on my challenger hellcat. And cut 1.6? 60 ft times at the track no problem. And tha was at 30psi in them
Congrats on the purchase! I love my Hellcat. Its amazing how you can drive around casually in total comfort and luxury with almost no indication as to how sick and twisted the power is... but with the simple press of the pedal, you can own 99% of the cars on the road, regardless of the price point.
Do you have a picture of the 275s on your car?

Damn!!
I will post a pic shortly..
Here is a picture I took when I was test fitting the 20x11's. I hung a weighted string off the quarter panel to see if the wheels poked out:
Here is what they look like with a 305/35/20 555R tire and 5mm wheel spacers.
I added the 5mm spacers to give myself a little extra room on the inside as there was only about 1/8" Clarence without them.
Others have ran the 20x11's without the spacers.
