Paint, Body & Trim / Re: Wheel Arch Brace
Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 08:52:44 PMJust like I mentioned to you at the FBBO site, you can make this work but it takes some careful measuring. Slight negative camber can help too.
I have 18 x 9 wheels that clear just fine. Aluminum wheels often run about an inch wider than the advertised number due to the thickness of the aluminum. That means a 10" wide wheel fits these cars but you have to position it right.

Charger Discussion / Re: Racing the rain...
Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 07:55:27 PMYeah, it is an interesting thing when you live in an area where rain is actually something that you enjoy since it happens so infrequently.

Charger Discussion / Re: Racing the rain...
Last post by lloyd3 - Today at 07:01:23 PMMy memories of Pennsylvania are largely of rain and overcast days (winters there can be simply abysmal and largely why it's referred to as "the Rust Belt"). It can really pour there, and for days on end. Makes for lots of greenery and big deep hardwood forests. You mostly adapt; and when a nice day finally shows up you hustle to take advantage of it.
Here in Denver it's mostly sunny (300 days a year is the somewhat-suspicious claim, although it's probably not all that far-off). I actually enjoy the fairly-rare rainy day here.

Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 06:29:31 PMI was in Pennsylvania for the Carlisle show. On Saturday, a mean mamma jamma rain cell came through and drenched the area. Afterwards, the clouds parted and it felt really nice.
I've never been to a car show where it rained this hard. Most of the people just hid under pop up tents and waited it out. A few people packed up and left.

Last post by Mike DC - Today at 05:40:48 PMYeah this sounds like a wheel offset problem. 235/60r15 is not that big.
Leave the fenders alone. Change the wheels.

Interior / Re: New 68-69 Lower dash pads ...
Last post by Hemidog - Today at 11:56:01 AMFinally, decided to replace the original pads.
Overall pretty happy, there is some misalignment between the pads, but no too bad.
The instrument cluster is a little hard to install after the pads are installed.

Last post by JMF - Today at 06:10:04 AMThanks
I am actually buying new wheels with a better backspace of 4"
The current 15 x 7's have a backspace of 3 - 5/8" so I'm hoping the extra 3/4" BS on the new wheels should tuck them in further and clear the bit that's rubbing
Tires are 235/60/15 which should be ok as I've had that on previous Chargers
The car does sit a little low at the front but I like that stance so ideally don't want to raise the front
Worse case I'll just go down to a 225/60 or 215/60
I had 235/60/14 on there previously and they never rubbed
