Im thinking about buying Rocket Boosters for my Challenger . They will be 17 x 7 4.25 backspace on the front and 17 x 8 4.50 backspace on the back . What size tires should I get for the front and rear ? I have Stock suspension on it.

Thanks

I would go 17x8 all around 4-1/2" backset.
I have 245 45 17 all around. With stock suspension. Car is lowered about 1"-1-1/2" in front. Front is close but fits, plenty of room in back. If I was to do again I would get 9" wide in back and go with a wider tire also.
