When it comes to 60-ft times and zero-to-60 thrills, nothing beats the combination of lightweight, one-piece forged beadlock wheels and sticky drag radials. @boostedceddy’s Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody build is a prime example. In these exclusive shots, you’ll see the perfect marriage of 17×11 WELD Racing S71 1-piece forged beadlock wheels and 315/50R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street R tires—a combo designed to hook hard, launch clean, and leave competitors in the dust.

Why Beadlock Wheels Matter for Widebody Hellcats?

Beadlock wheels aren’t just for show: they pin the tire’s bead firmly against the rim flange, keeping your rubber locked in place under extreme loads. That’s especially critical on a Widebody Hellcat, where the massive torque and weight transfer at launch can cause tire slip if your wheels aren’t up to the task. The WELD S71 wheel features:

• 17×11 size for maximum rear traction

• Medium pad, single-piece forging in 6061-T6 aluminum

• Black finish that resists track chemicals and easy to maintain

• Beadlock ring to eliminate slippage under high load

The Sticky Side: Mickey Thompson ET Street R Radials.

Wheels are only half the equation—tire technology is what actually puts power to pavement. The Mickey Thompson 315/50R17 ET Street R drag radial is legendary for get-up-and-go on heavy muscle cars:

• 305-series width on a 17-inch rim for larger contact patch

• Radial carcass balances street manners with drag-strip grip

• Directional tread pattern evacuates heat and maintains hook

• DOT-approved compounds for legal street use

Vehicle Fitments:

This wheel-tire package isn’t just for @boostedceddy’s Challenger Hellcat Widebody—it works across the Dodge SRT lineup from 2018–2023:

• Charger Hellcat Widebody (2018–2023)

• Charger SCAT Pack Widebody (2018–2023)

• Challenger Hellcat Widebody (2018–2023)

• Challenger Redeye (2018–2023)

• Challenger SCAT Pack Widebody (2018–2023)

• Challenger Demon (2018)

• Challenger Demon 170 (2023)

• Challenger Super Stock (2021–2023)

That broad fitment list means you can bolt on the same proven setup whether you’re piloting a Charger or Challenger, Hellcat or Demon. Just be sure to run shortened sway bar end links during installation to maintain proper suspension geometry under launch.

Installation Notes: Sway Bar End Links.

When fitting a 17×11 rear wheel and 315/50R17 tire, the larger wheel diameter can pull the sway bar link angle out of spec. We recommend installing shortened sway bar end links to:

1. Prevent binding or pre-loading the sway bar under compression

2. Maintain consistent castor and camber angles at ride height

3. Avoid premature wear on suspension bushings

Your installer can source universal adjustable end links or a vehicle-specific kit to ensure smooth operation.

Performance Gains You Can See:

In @boostedceddy’s photos, you can almost feel the grip as that hellacious Hellcat’s rear end squats and the beadlocks fight to keep the tire seated. Riders report:

• Improved 60-ft times by up to 0.1–0.2 seconds over stock wheels/tires

• Reduced wheel hop on off-the-line launches

• Consistent elapsed-times in back-to-back passes

• Street-legal usability thanks to DOT-approved drag radials

If you’re chasing the high-9s or low-10s with your Hellcat, Demon, Redeye, or Super Stock, this is the combo that bridges the gap between street and strip.
