They will fit OK... As the Challengers are 6.5" X 17's not the usual 7" X 17" so they will not rub at 31mm offset...
I have 7" X 17" on mine with an offset of 30mm.. there is 4mm gap at the closest point to the body

sounds good
Problem is i have the ouragan wheels now but i had to install 205/50 16" tires, couldn't find 205/45 anywhere when i got them
and at the top the tire is about 2mm away from the body
but then again the 205/50 is not a standard size
and they should be fit to wider wheels than mine ( 7" instead of 6.5"
so maybe that's why they stick out a lot
so will go ahead and order the challangers
did you see the picture?
i think they look great

Fitting "skinner" tyres will not be good.. As you may find that the sidewall folds under the wheel on cornering therefore losing grip...
That is a problem with the New falken ZE512 that replaced the ZE502...
When the 502 tyre is fitted to the rim the sidewall is pretty much at a 90degree angle to the road surface.. With the 512 the sidewall angles down under the rim of the wheel.. This causes the syptoms described above..
This is also one reason that Peugeot started fitting 205/45/16 tyres to the 206GTi instead of the 195/45/16's.. The 205 tyre has a fatter footprint and resists the sidewall folding action that the 195's developed..
