I have a 1970 challenger that has 14 inch tires. I want to change to 15 inch tires but have read that some challengers came with larger front fenders. How can I tell if my car came with these larger fenders and if not can I still use 15 inch tires. Thanks, Calvin.

Unless your car is a Hemi or a 340 T/A it is very unlikely your car came with the special fenders.

But worry ye not!

They were only designed for the hemi because it was such a heavy lump that with 15" wheels it was sometimes scraping the tires on rough roads and under heavy braking.

So just go ahead and fit 15 inch wheels if you want. That is what most of us do anyway.
