Ok, first off, let me say that I have no clue what I am doing! Lol, that being said, I am looking to buy new wheels & tires. I drive my 2007 SXT daily & I live in Ohio so there is definitely winter driving.

My current stock 17's are embarassing. The coating is peeling off! I also have the Goodyear Integrity tires.

So, I am desperately trying to figure out what I want before the summer M&Gs. Would 20's be too big or impractical for me? What do I need to know to order?

Thanks in advance & I don't mean to be a pain, lol. I have been looking since December , but I need to get moving! :lol:

Why not think about getting some 18" or maybe even 20" Boss 304's.

Lots of Chargers look great with these wheels on, and they're reasonably priced. Maybe get a nice summer tread, then put some snow tires on your 17's and use them exclusively in the winter.

I agree, running your OEM wheels with winter tires during the winter months is a safe and pratical idea.

Good choice on the Liquid Metal Magma. That's one of my personal favorites. Since that wheel is 8.5" wide, I would recommend you run the 255/45-20 size. You have a lot of great tire options to choose from. Here's a link with what we have to offer you...

If you need any help in selecting a tire, please let us know!

We mount and balance all wheel and tire combinations for free and shipping is free for OH residents. We also carry TPMS sensors for your vehicle for only $37.00 each. We can have them installed in your wheels before we mount the tires :bigthumb:

Wash them twice per day with Ivory Soap and warm water. Be sure to use 3 buckets (wash, rinse, soft water) and a fresh sponge each time.
