With no mods to the rear probably a 9 in wide rim. If you relocate the rear leaf springs(cheap and fairly easy if you can weld) 11 inch wide with no issues.

12 inch wide is easy 13 incher would be close with the corect wheel offset and stance you could do it. Originally Posted by markos920

Dodgeboys,
Hey I've been following your build on Cuda-Challenger.com for some time. It's really turning out great. I'm doing a 6.1 '71 Challenger also.
Question on your Alterkation front. Is it possible to lower the ride height any additional amount (I'm not knocking yours
It looks great as is-just info for my build). I haven't purchased my front suspension yet and I do want a low ride height within reason. Just looking for a first hand experience with a pro-touring E-body set up and trying to decide which way to go either Alterkation, AME bikini clip modified and welded in or XV. What size of front tire are you running?
Great pictures by the way!
Thanks, Wes

Beautiful car, incredible paint. Really nice job - you should be proud.
Wes - we also have an option for those that want adjustable ride height and track ready handling without cutting.

Thank you everyone it means a lot to me that you all like it.
I never thought it would turn out so good...
yes it can go lower 1 inch and I will lower it some more after the back springs settle a little more and I add 1 more inch of offset to the front wheels. (18 x 9 wide) I only have 150 miles on it and lots of tweeks left. Originally Posted by MoparCar
