Mickey Thompson ET Street...275/40/17 totally kicks ass...aprox 12in wide footprint. I mounted them on some cheap cragar steelies.

I went from having to smoke the hell out of my BFG 245/40/18 DR's and pedal them out of the hole..... to just cleaning off the ET Streets with a couple dry hops and then being able to nail the throttle out of the hole.

My last 10 60's have been between 1.75 - 1.79

Be warned, you will need 6200 shift points with these tires to ensure you stay in 3rd gear.

It has been confirmed the SRTs can run the 17" rim on the rear hasn't it...a Cragar if I remember....

Can anyone confirm...

Any links to the rims you use? I worry about the R/T brake clearance but obviously a few have 17's running without issues.

I heard trhe M&H ones were pretty good... PowerWagon knows about all this.

I checked summit racing and did not find the crager steelies you were speaking of. You have a location to purchase these from?

I have a feeling I'm going to need a set of these soon...

So Erik if I order the ones on the page you just posted those will fit on my SRT-8?? Correct?

[Hemi31]

I am 99% sure that is the same size as the ones we stuck on my car.PM Powerwagon to verify.
