2022 Dodge Challenger Hellcat on Billet Specialties Redline and WELD Ventura 5 Beadlock Wheels

The Dodge Challenger Hellcat is already one of the most aggressive modern muscle cars on the road, but the right wheel and tire setup can completely change the attitude of the car. For Hellcat owners looking to improve traction, reduce front-end weight, and create a true street/strip look, a dedicated drag wheel setup is one of the best upgrades.

Our customer Josh has a 2022 Dodge Challenger Hellcat running a serious drag-focused setup with 18x5 Billet Specialties Redline wheels up front and 17x10 WELD Ventura 5 Beadlock Drag wheels in the rear. The rear wheels are wrapped in Mickey Thompson P315/50R17 ET Street R tires, giving the car the tire it needs to help put Hellcat power to the ground.

Josh’s Challenger is also equipped with a DSS 4” Aluminum 1-Piece Direct Fit CV Driveshaft, making this build even more track-ready.

A Serious Street/Strip Hellcat Setup

The Hellcat platform makes serious power from the factory, but getting that power to the pavement requires the right supporting setup. Josh’s combination of narrow front wheels, beadlock rear wheels, drag radials, and an upgraded driveshaft creates a package that is both aggressive and functional.

The 18x5 Billet Specialties Redline front wheels help reduce weight and give the car a clean drag front-runner look. Out back, the 17x10 WELD Ventura 5 Beadlock Drag wheels allow for a serious rear tire setup while adding the added confidence of a beadlock design.

The Mickey Thompson P315/50R17 ET Street R is a popular choice for high-horsepower street/strip cars, giving the Hellcat a tire designed to help manage power at the track while still maintaining a streetable setup.

Adding the DSS 4” Aluminum 1-Piece Direct Fit CV Driveshaft helps complete the package, making this build more than just a wheel and tire upgrade. Josh’s 2022 Challenger Hellcat is a great example of choosing parts that work together for a real performance-focused build.
