My nearly new, 0 owner 2017 Dodge Challenger GT

[olds307 and 403]

Ordered the Weather Tech floor mats in Black for the for the Driver and Passenger side. Almost no one sits in the back anymore. They cover the whole floor and are custom to every vehicle. The AWD Challenger has a unique floor pan and different mats because of it. Everyone who has them, loves them.

Well, 15 days later, after I sorted out the whole we don't take Debit Visa, technically ordered on Dec 13th, the Weather Tech mats have finally shipped. I will gets some pics this week of the new to me Winter aluminum rims and 235/60R18 studded tires. FYI, these tires are a 1/4 short on height than the advertised 29".

It's theoretically possible for a wider wheel width to shorten overall tire diameter by an 1/8 or 1/4 inch, say if you went from a 6.5 wide to 8 wide with the same tire.

Maybe the actual rim width compared to where the manufacturer measured it?

Yes, that might explain that discrepancy, either way it is acceptable. These are 18"×7.5" FYI. The reason I mentioned it, a few of us have found BFG Goodrich Radial TA's to be woefully short on height, talking .5" to 1.5" short on height! Add in browning White letter issues and being more expensive than Cooper Cobra's, most of us are now avoiding them.

I just looked up the Federal Hymalia tires, the 29.1" height is figured out on a 7" rim, these being a 7.5" wide rim might spread out the extra rubber a 1/4".

A pic of the Winter rims, look pretty good. The new mats should be here tomorrow.

Solid look for winter.

A big box arrived. They fit like factory and offer much better protection.

Got the wife a front & rear seat for her Santa Fe for Christmas. She loves them.

The GT has done well for us, just over 100,000 KM. I got a solid mid 20's not speeding, towing the boat to the lake yesterday. I am collecting parts for upgrades, probably next year. I have the Dorman aluminum oil filter housing, Autolite Iridium spark plugs along with intake gaskets coming. I will probably pick up the PUG lower intake since for some weird reason Dodge still doesn't use it on the Challenger or any car Pentastar V6 for some reason. I may consider a throttle body and Hellcat lower air box and tube as well. The exhaust is tricky. It actually makes more of a difference than I thought, 10 WHP. Considering the factory stuff is all straight through. The factory stuff sounds great, just loud enough. With the manifold in head design, I have yet to hear a nice sounding aftermarket exhaust. Since I tow with it, not sure I could live with any drone. I also picked up this and will service the trans next year. I am not a huge fan of the plastic pan. While it is tucked up, there are rocks around boat launches. Still need to decide on the fluid. The OE brand of fluid supposedly meets the ZF spec.
