I'm creating this thread to build a summary of all the info, and eventually may move it to the wiki.

Anyone who would like to contribute, please do so, but I ask that this thread be light on discussion, just raw data. There are numerous other threads already for discussion on these topics which I follow.

I will place the results within the first few messages. I will follow them with a few posts of data I have collected both as the data and also to serve as examples for the data and post format I'd prefer.

The data I'm interested in and the format I'd prefer:

car: Challenger or Charger
lowered: "no" or 0
- or -
lowered front: N" using X kit
lowered rear: M" using Y kit

front: <wheel size> <ET> <wheel brand> <wheel model>
rear: <wheel size> <ET> <wheel brand> <wheel model>

front: <tire size> <tire brand> <tire model>
rear: <tire size> <tire brand> <tire model>

front: "fits" or "rubs, needed <mods>"
rear: "fits" or "rubs, needed <mods>"

Optionally:
front section: section width measurement of actual wheel/tire combo
rear section: section width measurement of actual wheel/tire combo

front diam: diameter measurement of actual wheel/tire combo
rear diam: diameter measurement of actual wheel/tire combo

notes: include here any other measurements, eg of clearance between fender lip and tire, protrusion amount, amount of tire sidewall bulge, actual measured outside width of wheel (not just inside spec) etc.

photos: photos are of course welcome, especially those that focus on fitment and profile showing how much a combination tucks in or is flush with the car or how much wheel well gap exists, however, please don't quote photos unecessarily--I'd like this thread to stay information dense and not get filled with scrolling noise

Please caption each photo completely and explicitly.

Notes:
replace front+rear with "square" if they are the same
<ET> should be explicit on the +/- and be formatted as one of:
<ET of wheel>
<ET of wheel> <spacer> = <total ET>
eg:
-2.5mm
+25mm
+21mm 3mm = +18mm

if you tried the same combo with and without spacers before eliminating rub simply expand the fitment entries like so (please be explicit and write it as "total ET" so as to be clear):

front: fits
rear: fits with +18mm total ET
rear: rubs with +20mm total ET until minor tub mod
rear: rubs with +21mm total ET

Hard Requirements:
- "fits" should only be said for combinations not requiring any mods (spacers don't count as mods)
- DO NOT say that a combination "fits" or no longer "rubs" unless it absolutely does not rub at any suspension extreme, eg even if it only rubs in hard cornering if you hit a bump just right IT DOES NOT FIT for the purposes of this data.
- limit individual posts to describing a single combination, one front, one rear. In all these other threads it's just far too easy for people to wind up posting confusing, useless info when they talk about multiple combinations in the same few sentences--it winds up causing a dozen follow-up posts of people asking for clarification which is just noise.

As an example, here's a thread with similar purpose with a similar format to what I'm hoping this can be:

Lowering, Offset, and Rolling Fenders..GURUS

The Charger has a bit more room, so everything that fits the Challenger should fit the Charger just fine.

Tire data from common choices

coming soon.. as soon as table support gets added to the forum

data will be for at least:

Pirelli PZero
Pirelli PZero Nero AS
Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06
Continental ExtremeContact Sport
Michelin PSS
Michelin PS4S
Nitto NT 555 G2
Nitto NT 555R
Nitto NT05
Toyo R888R

any others requested or that I notice mentioned


Tread widths for some tires are:
9.4" - 275/40/20 Pirelli P-Zero Nero AS stock
9.4" - 275/40/20 Michelin PS4S
9.5" - 275/40/20 Conti EC DWS 06
9.8" - 275/40/20 Conti ECS
9.9" - 285/30/20 Conti EC DWS 06
10.0" - 285/35/20 Conti ECS
10.0" - 295/35/20 Michelin PS4S <-- notice, tirerack shows the tread width of this 295/35 as actually less than their 285/35
10.1" - 285/35/20 Michelin PS4S
10.2" - 295/40/20 Conti EC DWS 06
10.6" - 295/35/20 Michelin PS4S K1 Ferrari <-- this version is wider however
11.0" - 305/35/20 Conti ECS
11.2" - 315/35/20 Conti EC DWS 06
11.4" - 315/35/20 Conti ECS
11.6" - 285/35/20 Toyo R888

I can't find the tread widths for Nitto tires, but their section widths are:
10.67" - 275/40/20 Nitto 555R
12.17" - 305/35/20 Nitto 555R

Drag Setup:

car: Challenger HC
lowered: no

WHEELS:
front: skinnys coming soon (will update then)
rear: Forgestar D5 Beadlocks 17x10 +30mm

TIRES:
front: coming soon
rear: 315/50/17. M/T DR's

TOTAL WEIGHTS:
Front
: coming soon
Rear: (-30 passes) 62lbs
REF: Stock combo: 56lbs. Stock 5 spoke wheels and Pirelli P-Zero 275/40/20 summer tires ( down to wear bars) 56lbs

front: "fits"
rear: rubbed through fender liner from cornering with 5mm spacers. 8 mm spacers were needed.

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing and many said that these wheels with 315's would easily fit without spacers, while others said 3 mm spacers would work. This was incorrect. I think I could have gotten away with 6 mm spacers. But I drive the car to the drag strip with these 315s because I'm only 20 minutes away. The root of the problem is the tire has so much sidewall that it flexes when going around corners and I believe that's what rubbed through my fender liner.

Rear tire lines up almost perfectly even with fender lip.
Front tires coming soon.

Before.

Pretty surprising since these are being sold as direct bolt-on's for challengers. Not so direct when I have to wait 2 more weeks to get proper spacers to finish the install properly.
