The wheels are the same width and offset as stock so it really depends on
the tire size you use.
If your shocks aren't stiff a 205/60/15 will hit the top of the back wheel
well on an SC. That is equivalent to a 205/55/16 so it might or might not
hit depending on your shocks on an SC. The rampage probably has more
room.
The other problem with our 16" rims is that they are only 6" wide. Most
tires say that you shouldn't have a 205/45/16 tire on a 6" wide rim. The
lower aspect ratio allows for less sidewall and hence less sidewall buldge
over the rim so they don't stay on the bead as well.
Getting a 16x7" rim is the way to go. YOu can find some nice light ones
like the rota slipstreams out there for about $100 each.

Hi,
The rims will work fine but as for the stock 205-55-16's, forget it. They rub.
I put a set on my Shelby Charger once to see what they looked like. I drove
it for a half mile and that was enough. I was driving it slow because it
rubbed on both sides up front and even slow turns. I believe the backs wee
fine. The car looked great though. I took lots of pictures, then pulled them
off. If you dropped the tire size to mayby 205-50-16's or mayby 205-45-16's,
you'd probably be alright.

Hi all!
Has anyone ever ran a set of 16 x 6 pumper style wheels on the L-body Shelby
Charger and if so will it work without clearance issues? I have found a very
nice Shelby Daytona with low mileage in a local salvage yard that just came in
and the guy wants to make a deal on the wheels. Any info or help is
appreciated since I want to either buy them or pass on them soon!
Thanks!
Paul
