What do you guys think would look better on a dark gray duster:

cragars, only offered in 15x7s or 17s:

Magnums, offered in 15/16/17s, but i think 17s might be too large for this wheel desgin.

I really like 17 inch wheels...I like the cragars...but the magnum 500's would look good too...
 
will 17s fit with stock suspension?? I saw one car with stock suspension and 17s(cobra r's) and it looked like it would rub at full lock to lock?

they fit, but you have to be spot on for the backspace...you might need spacers, you might need to mess with your sway bar....lol...I used the standard mustang torque thrust 17x8 with 5.72 backspace, and it was alot of work to get them to fit, but I finally did it. lol...
 
My opinion, Magnums, Ralley's or steelies 14's or 15's. They will always look right...in a few years those larger wheels and other styles might look dated or even cheesy.

JMO, i think 14s are too small for the duster/demon/dart. There are almost no options for handling performance tires in 15s.
 
Cragars in 17's...Just try and get a 50 series for the rear for a 27" tire, like a 255/50/17 and a 235/45/17 for about a 25.5" tire for the front. That way the profiles will match closer.
 
Those cragers are cool, that just might be what my barracuda gets now!! let us know what you decide and post some pics
 
Love the cragars ...but I think 16 inch rims are the best size period...not too big or small...but barely anyone makes them...no cragars ...
