If it were my car/tyres, it'd be plain black (no writing or rings).
Problem will be how much sidewall you will get before it rubs on the car. Too little and they look like rubber bands, and you'll knacker the rim when you hit a pot hole. To big and you'll look like a monster truck/ Donk.
Well there you go...........Absolutely no help!
Try and find a tyre calculator on the web. I've seen a site (posted on here), where you can pick your car image and put wheels on it in a variety of sizes and tyre widths!
Charger should be on it, so should give a taste of what the profile looks like.
Can't remember the link, but i'm sure one of the other guys will post a link!!
