That's right--I stand corrected. I was thinking of another cuda.

PS--Wow 315's on a 10 inch rim!

I had 315's on a 10...it's doable, but I didn't care for the look. I now have a 315 on a 11.5 and like it much better!

I have staggered 17" and 18" on a 1970 442 tribute.

Let me be the 1st to tell you that the bigger and wider the rims, the harder it is to rip em loose.
With the factory 2.78 open rear, and 15" SSIII ims I could chirp these 1st, 2nd no problem with 425ft lbs of torque.
I put on the 18" rears with Nitto 555R's, and I couldn't chirp em at all. I then put in a posi 3.73 and still can't chirp em.
Not bothering to change my converter because an LSX / T56 is going in soon anyways.

I think 19 and 20" is just way too big for the classic body lines of that car.
Modern Mopar's look great with 20's, because their body lines were built for it.
MOST classic cars look cartooned with them tucked in like that. But to each there own. Just my opinion.

For me, I think you should see the profile of the tire all around. When it's tucked in the fender, I hate it.

Not a fan. I think it would look better with 17's or 18s' and untucked.

I guess I'm the odd man out here. I say 20's all the way around. I have 20 x9's and 20x11's. Lowered some and they don't look too big to me neither has other people said they were too big. But, I just like to cruise. No corner carving or track days for me.
