Dodge has issued a recall for 173 cars, all various types of Challengers and Chargers, because the incorrect front wheels were installed at the factory, and could cause damage to the tires, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filing.

The recall, first announced on October 24, claims the setup could cause the front tires to make contact with the steering knuckle, which could rip a hole in the rubber and cause it to deflate, increasing the risk of a crash.

Affected cars will have their front wheels replaced free of charge, and if necessary, have their front tires replaced as well. An alignment will also be performed if the repairing dealership determines it's needed. So far, no owners have reported issues of their own.

The cars affected were manufactured between May 28 and September 25. The list of vehicles affected include 111 Chargers and 62 Challengers, all with a specific high-gloss black wheel and brake package that "should not have been an available option" from the factory.

Why! Why! Why!
Some things, just because you can do it, you still should NOT!

Hey, at least it doesn't have the splitter protectors still on it. Or a splitter, for that matter.

I don't know if your being funny or not. But that is why I'm not a huge fan of the widebody. Sorry Mike. But they just don't look integrated into the body. Honestly, you don't think this looks better?

Yeah, I'd get a wide body if the fenders looked like that.

Well that would certainly solve the drag radials in winter weather problem I'm solving on my 1320. Where can I get this? :)

That's an Offroading SRT. They've decided to forgo the Jeep in respect to this.... Thing. It's the newer style kiddos are going for.

Considering the new Jeeps have become as large as a school bus, and with more doors, it makes sense.
