Do I see summer tires up front and drag radials in the back? 305?

Yep! We had 4 drag radials on it but it looked goofy so we pulled them off. Same setup we'd do on a trackhawk or durango srt/hellcat.

Great idea.

If it is anything like the Daytona Scat Pack, (sounds like it is now), I'd put them on the front before the back. My fronts are the only thing that spins. Sometimes it isn't about the looks, it is about what works.

Certainly not like that at all.

RacerX was having some issues with the fronts slipping very slightly, but he was doing line lock to warm the rears. Sixpack also has the same wheel width all the way around.
I don't think it's an issue though. Supposedly the weight balance on the car is close to 50/50, but I imagine the front wheels have a little more weight on them from the engine. Plus the Sixpack has a rear wheel bias that increases as you switch to sport/track/drag.

20" rear wheels? I have a set of 305 ET Street R's, but 18", from my Charger. Know of any 18" x 10" wheels that fit the back of these?

20's all around.

Originally plan was 17 inch beadlocks, but we want to "drive" this car & unfortunately the mods required to do that are a little more than we wanted to do. We did modify a bit but threw the towel in. The banjo bolt, bleeder, and caliper hit just about every 17 inch 5x127 beadlock/drag wheel on the market currently.. The banjo bolt needs to be paper thin and at one point in time we ground through it so we called it quits.

So 18s will probably be the move on this car, If the platform takes off Weld has measured our car as dodge didn't publicize much for wheel manufactures to be able to work from yet, Weld plans on producing some wheels for the platform and not just recycling off the shelf stuff like we have done here.

I'm hoping my Bravado 18x10 with 20MM offset won't be too bad with a 15MM bolt-on adapter.

It may poke a tiny bit, 15MM you may have to trim the studs a tiny bit unless the bravados have some room to poke through.
