Dodge Challenger Tire Swap from 245's to 275's
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- I finally decided to swap out these dangerous 245 tires, on the rear, to 275's. There was very little traction with the 245's. It was difficult to control the car and they didn't hook up to the pavement. The car got real squirrely. I wasn't able to unleash the true performance of this car so, I had to do something about it.
I had 275/30R20's installed and I couldn't be happier. The car hooks to the road and now I can get the feel for the immense power this car can deliver.
I highly recommend replacing the 245's on your car if you have them. It's not worth wrapping your car around a tree. Plus, you'll have the enjoyment of getting the most out of your Challenger.
My 2017 Scat Pack Shaker Challenger with the Dynamics package came with 275s and various upgrades from the factory. Spent a lot of time researching before I spotted that option.
They should've had 275 from the factory its literally a safety issue idk what dodge was thinking
Just got mine and I’m spinning at 90mph it’s ridiculous
Why is it a safety issue? You make the claim without providing any information
@@DeLo000You made that up
.....stop it
@@DeLo000no you aren’t 😂
Looks good, I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4’s in 275/40/20 all around a year or so ago. Definitely awesome tires and they look great on my 2018 R/T Scatpack!
Makes a big difference getting the power to the pavement doesn't it?
How smooth are the turns with 275 tires?
Did you still have good clearance in the wheel wells?
Are your rear wheels 20x8 or 20x9?. I got a set of brand new 275/40/20's sitting in the garage, but my 2011 came with 20x8 wheels and I hear that you can't go wider than a 265 tire.
My wheels are 20x9. You are correct. You'll need a wider wheel for the 275's.
He will need 22in wheels. I have the 275/40/22 all around.
A normal video of tire size differences, that people can understand. Not grills in your mouth so your words are hard to understand. Great Job. lol
2015 300s...245/45/20....do the 275's have a lower side profile? I was told wider will mean a lower profile and won't fill in the wheel well as much. 🤔
Yes, that is true. The 275's are a lower profile tire. However, I don't think the gap in the wheel well is really noticeable. Lowering springs or airbag shocks could be an option for you. Check my video out again and you'll see if the gap isn't to your liking.
@@revvdup8526 Whoa, whoa, Whoa ! I'm not so sure about that big guy. 275 (width) 40 (sidewall height) 20 (tire diameter) i dont think going to a wider tire is going to lower your profile unless you choose to do so.for example 275/ 35/ 20 is going to give you a lower profile, the middle number is the profile height and like my neighbors wife says, size does matter !! So enjoy your neighbor, i mean your tires. 😊😊😊
Hi. I have toyota highlander 2018. Original tires 245 55 19. I want that look wider, wht tires number can i go? Thanks.
I don't know. You may want to search online for some information.
One more question ,,what size are your stock rims ? I thought 8 inch was stock
@@billhamilton7524 20" x 9" stock rims.
How’s the tread wear? I have 275’s all around and the rear tires have a weird wear pattern going on.
@@karruchii I can't really say because I don't put many miles on the car. They still look new.
I picked up a set of hellcat replicas. 10 inch front and 10.5 back. I went 275 front and 315 rear. Rear rubbed on the drive home and went away after I got home and looked at it. I have the same body as you
315's? Wow! That's a whole lot of rubber. In your honest opinion, would you stick with 315's if you had to do it over again, or would you go with 305's? Just curious.
305's would've been better actually.
@Four!!! I think I will be moving the 275's to the front and putting 305's on the rear in the near future.
I have the same scat, my dealer said the 305’s would work. I’ll know more when I bring it in in two days (3/29/23).
@@johnnyhomicide5848 let me know how you make out?
Sweet car you got there.
My son just got his 13’ black top edition which has 20x9 wheels.
It currently has 275/40R20 in the back and 245/45R20 in the front. He likes this stagger and width but wants a little meatier side wall. These are 28” tall tires and was trying to find info on putting a 29” tall tire under this car but can’t find any info because everyone seems to be doing the low profile tires these days. Do you know if they would fit without rubbing? Thanks for any info. 👍
Thanks for the compliment. The 275's will fit the front without rubbing. Enjoy the car!
@@revvdup8526 are you talking about the 275/45 or the 40’s
@@smokymountainconcealment5356 the 275 40's
2 questions
1 did you have to get new 9 inch wheels ?
2 why the hell didn't you burn up those tires first ,,still a lot of tread left ,they look new
@billhamilton7524 No I didn't have to get new wheels. They are the stock rims. I didn't burn up the old tires because I didn't want to abuse the car. Also, I didn't want to remove burnt rubber from the car. Haha.
@@revvdup8526sorry for a stupid question but how do you fit a wider tire on the same rim ??
@billhamilton7524 I used the same O.E.M. wheels. I wanted to save them to replace the front tires once they wear out. Save some $$$.
@JiminyKriketz 275's are the widest you can go on theses wheels. If I were to go with 305's, I would have to move up to a 10.5" to an 11" rim.
nice car
Thanks!
What about the front can fit too ??
Yes, 275's will fit in the front.
Can I swap 275 for 245 on 24in rims?
It depends on how wide the wheel is. If it is a 9" wheel you will be fine.
Just put 10.5s in the rear wrapped on some 305s. Looks so much better.
Awesome! Do you have a narrow body Challenger? Did you go with 305's all the way around? Did you need spacers? Any issues with rubbing?
@@revvdup8526 I have a narrow body charger but i went staggered with 9s in the front but no rubbing issues at all
@@kckzerr Nicely done.
What size are your rims 8 or 9
I have 9's.
@@revvdup8526so did you go with the 275/35r20 or which one
What is the exact size of you're stock rim?
20 x 9
@revvdup8526 does the gt v6 model has the same rims
Thanks for the videos and the great info!
Thanks for watching.
Would those tires fit on the front too or would the knuckle be an issue?
275's will fit on the front. No issues.
@@revvdup8526so do u recommend on front too or just rear the 275s?
@elfiveseven57 if you want 275's on the front, I'd say go for it!
@@revvdup8526 thanks for the tip bro
Are you able to put 275 all around on Scat pack Challenger. Mine came with all factory 245
Yes, you can. I will be replacing the front tires with 275 's when needed.
@REVVD UP dealership tried telling me that I will have to have my car lifted for them to fit. But I keep seeing people on UA-cam making it look easy.
@@steadycuzzin5813 Not so, you'll be good to go. Dealer is trying to rip you off.
@@revvdup8526 That's exactly what I was thinking.
@@revvdup8526 which 275 tires do I go with?
Very nice!! Would 275/45r20 rub on the front?
They will fit just fine.
Very nice tire setUp Sir
Thanks!
@@revvdup8526 no problem at all Sir
Are you running and lowering springs or any modifications to the suspension of the car or just the aftermarket wheels??
Stock suspension and stock wheels. No modifications made.
I have a 2015 challenger sxt i definitely need some 275 tires I went to a shop nearby total price for all 4 new of course over $800 i also wanna do a Rear muffler delete with chrome Quad tips
That's a great price! I paid $500 for two. Hope the rear muffler delete works out. Should sound pretty loud.
You do NOT need 275s on a V6 lol.
@@chronickk_392 at the end of the day its a challenger u must have a scatpack or hellcat right?
@nemesis8140 yes I do. I'm not being a dick but let's be honest the 245s are plenty good on a 300hp v6
Your Scat looks Nice!👍💪 Do you know if it’s possible to go a little bigger than the 275’s, up to 295’s on the stock 20” rims without them rubbing?
I have a ‘13 Plum Crazy w/black stripes Challenger SRT8 392 6.4 liter that I want to keep as stock as possible, but as everybody who owns one of these cars says…the 245’s spin alot due to being too small for the power of the car. 👍💪
I'm not sure but if you are planning to go wider then 275's you'll need wider rims.
You have 8.5 rim I hear I shouldn’t go wider than 265 so I kept the original size amd went to the before track tire supercar 3 Goodyear sticky tire but kept same size I also did same with magnaflow put the original tips and I’ll prolly do same with the Barton shifter put the original stick just change the hardware. Nice car the 275 fit perfect. I May do 265 when I find a super deal
@@oscalsochirino8706 sounds like you've got a plan getting your car looking right.
@@revvdup8526 doing the rear seat delete right now tomorrow I’ll finish changing the cheap speakers as well was able to get the demon rear seat delete used of course but for 120 the shipping alone is 180 on the kit. Trying to get all the weight as I can. Since I have a rt
@@oscalsochirino8706 right on! Every pound counts. Keep me posted.
