Owner Spotlight: Richie’s 2021 Charger Hellcat Widebody on WELD RT-S S71 Drag Wheels

2021 Charger Hellcat Widebody on WELD RT-S S71 17x11 Wheels and Mickey Thompson 315/50R17 Tires

The 2021 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody is one of the most aggressive modern Mopar platforms on the road. With widebody styling, supercharged 6.2L Hellcat power, and a factory stance that already looks serious, these cars are a perfect candidate for a proper rear drag wheel and tire setup.

Our great returning customer Richie, known on Instagram as @whiteknuckle_6.2, has his 2021 Charger Hellcat Widebody running WELD Racing RT-S S71 drag wheels paired with Mickey Thompson ET Street R tires. His setup features a 17x11 rear wheel with a 315/50R17 drag radial, giving the car the wide, aggressive, and traction-focused look that fits the Hellcat Widebody platform perfectly.

This setup is a great example of how the right rear wheel and tire package can completely change the attitude of a modern Charger Hellcat Widebody.

This setup gives Richie’s Charger Hellcat Widebody a much more aggressive rear stance. The 17x11 rear wheels fill out the widebody platform extremely well, while the 315/50R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street R tires add the sidewall, width, and performance-focused look that Hellcat owners are usually after.

Why Choose the WELD RT-S S71 for a Charger Hellcat Widebody?

  1. Strong Widebody Fitment – The 17x11 sizing works extremely well for the Charger Hellcat Widebody platform, giving the rear of the car a wider and more aggressive look.
  2. Perfect Rear Drag Setup – The 17-inch wheel allows for a taller drag radial tire, which is exactly what many high-horsepower Mopar owners want for a more traction-focused setup.
  3. Clean Black Finish – The black WELD RT-S S71 wheel keeps the setup clean, simple, and performance-oriented without taking away from the aggressive factory widebody styling.
  4. 315/50R17 Tire Package – The Mickey Thompson 315/50R17 ET Street R gives the car a serious rear profile with the sidewall and contact patch that fit this type of Hellcat build perfectly.
  5. Customer-Confirmed Build – Richie’s @whiteknuckle_6.2 Charger Hellcat Widebody is a great real-world example of how this rear wheel and tire setup looks on a modern widebody Mopar.

A Serious Rear Setup for the Charger Hellcat Widebody

The Charger Hellcat Widebody is already a large, powerful, and aggressive sedan, but Richie’s wheel and tire setup gives the car an even more serious street/strip presence. The widebody platform allows the rear of the car to carry a wider wheel and tire setup, making the 17x11 WELD RT-S S71 a great match.

The WELD Racing RT-S S71 has been a popular drag wheel choice for modern Mopar owners because it offers a clean, race-inspired look while keeping the focus on performance. On Richie’s Charger, the black finish gives the car a clean and subtle look, while the wider rear wheel size makes it clear the setup was chosen with traction in mind.

Paired with the Mickey Thompson P315/50R17 ET Street R, the rear of the car gets a much more aggressive stance and a true drag-inspired profile. The 315/50R17 tire size gives the car the taller sidewall and wide contact patch that works so well on high-horsepower Hellcat builds.

This combination keeps Richie’s Charger looking clean while giving it the type of rear fitment that matches the power and attitude of the Hellcat Widebody platform.
