I’m on 17 Mickey Thompson but it looks like I may have to do the 15 inch conversion

305/45? Or 315/50? For that kinda boost for consistent 60’, you would need 315/50/17

315/50/17 won’t fit as is. They do require some inner fender messaging that is still better than 15” grinding of end link and knuckle.

Here’s 315/50/17 launch

@Marc W did a nice job with his. He had pics on the other site. I'm just not smart enough to find them and show them here.

Thank you (I think). 😂. The 315-17 M/T-R has been a common combination with the 3.09 gears for over a year now. You can read all about it on the forums! On the right wheel, it only requires beating down the stiffening rib inside the wheel well where the inside edge of the tire at the front would rub. A very simple modification. I initially did it with a set of the RaceStars that are specific to the Hellcat. Combined with the 3.09’s it is the best setup for consistent 60’s without going to a 15” wheel. Here’s a old picture of that wheel/tire combo. C493D834-A883-4805-9F86-7D78FC0E8F8F.jpeg
