In your latest video I noticed your rear tires.
The fitment is exactly what I want for my cat.
Are you running the stock rims?
Please tell me what tire brand, size, and rear wheel specs.
Thanks

Ok
So let me reword this.

What tire size, brand, do people run on the rear of their he'll cat challengers? Also what wheels do you use? After market to match the factory fronts? What's the specs? I hope Speedy will chime in.

Most people run a 275 or 285 on the front and rear on the stock 9.5" wheels. Those that want more traction often buy a replica 10.5" wheel to go on the rear and run a 305 or 315 tire. And few like myself go even further and buy aftermarket 11.5" or 12" wheels for the rear and use a 335 or 345 tire.

As for tires, so many choices depending on your goals. If you want the best street tire available for a daily driver or car that will be driven in the rain, its a Michelin PS4S and a very close second runner up is the Continental ExtremeContact Sport. When you get above a 315 tire size, options become much more limited to Michelin and Pirelli. For those that want the best dry traction available on the rear and don't plan to drive much in the rain, they often use Nitto 555R.

Thanks for the info
I'm getting ready to do mild mods. 2.85 cai injectors etc. So traction will be an issue.

Liked the way Speedys car looked from the rear that's why I was hoping he'd chime in.

I like my Drag Star drag pack for racing but , I wish I could find a 5 spoke wheel in 20x8 for 245/45/20's & matching 20x10 for 305/35/20's for street use. I can not find this combo in wheels without having them made, $$$. Bummer.

if winter driving i think the cheap replicas are fine but if you are going to be racing or doing a lot of high speed driving, esp with the HP the HC has, Id rather have something forged.

I used PK Autodesign for mine. Excellent quality! They are a vendor here.

PK HR5 HellRasier if you are going for the 5 spoke look. I personally like them better than even stock 5 spoke.
Conti ECS 285/35/20 9.5's Front
Conti ECS 305/35/20 10.5's Rear

I think overall you still have a little play on tire size to match your personal OCD on overall look and feel.
