Any issues with running 17"x 9.5" Drag Stars on my standard body Challenger Redeye?
I have heard that sway bar links may be an issue?

Assuming you are talking about for the rear. You will need to change the sway bar end links. The B-Woody ones work great.

I never had issues with getting the wheels on/off with the sway bars, however after inspecting the inside of my race stars from the last season I did notice rubbing. I ran with the HHP ones, the B-Woody are also a good product as well.

You can get them on without the shorter end links some have said. I would just buy shorter one's and be done. Like said, the Bwoodys are a good choice, I have them:)

@Reillyrob I have a set of Bwoodys that came off my car when I did the 15” rear conversion, they have maybe 500 miles on them and have the grease fittings. I would take $50.00 shipped for them if you are wanting to purchase a set.

Why are people running the 9.5" Racestars? I'm assuming you'll be running a wider tire. I went 10.5" but they also have 11". The wider wheel would be better for a wider tire.

They aren't required per se. It comes down to how you jack the vehicle up since that's where the issue comes to play. For the amount of money we spend on our cars, wth is another $70 or so. I am running the HHP ones with my Forgestars. Also to make sure you zip tie the ABS wire to avoid rubbing.
