I have been going back and forth on my FRONT tire size for months...
You guys are so helpful. :bow: I know I can count on you guys to help me make the right choice on tire size for my 'Cuda. The tires are going to be BFG KDW-2's...
My rims are going to be 19x8 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. I'm pretty set with the rear profile with a 285/30/20 (unless somone strongly objects),
but for the front tire size I cannot decide on 235 or 245 35/19?
I have seen it (not in person) both ways:
danica's camaro ->235
rogan's cuda->235
kenny's xtreme -> 245
DOK (overhaulin challenger)-> 245?

The 245 looks like the sidewall height will match better to the 285 rear (practically equal sidewall heights), but the 235 looks like the treadwidth is more porportionate to rim width (treadwidth about inch and a half greater than rim width [front equaling rear])...

Look here:

Which front will match/look better with a 285/30/20 rear???

Thanks for your help and if you have any added input please feel free...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!:cheers:

I would go with the 245 especially if the sidewall heights are identical to the rear. Less stagger is better as well.

I would go 245's, unless your after that big and little look then a 235 will come in

I am in the exact same position with my 70 Challenger. Do you have a stock suspension? What kind of rims are you going to put on? What about the BS?
