Proxes S/T 255-50-18 on stock RWD R/T rims??

**zonian** · 08-06-2005, 09:54 AM

I was finally able to locate a set of these Toyo's locally through an exhaustive search, but before I put $$ down, .

...does anyone know for sure if these will fit the stock '05 Magnum RT RWD rim?

I know Silver1 put them on his AWD, but I believe that's a different rim.

Yes, they will fit, I have BFG KDW in the 255/55 size and fit fine (I have the Eiback Prokit, too):

Hey, LtlDad, you've had your KDW's for a while now. Any updates you can share with us? I forget, are you'rs KDWS or KDW-2? These are probably what I want to put on my car and I was hoping to hear from folks who have had them a while about how well they are holding up and driving impressions over the long haul. Did you get your car flashed to accomodate the tire change or is the speedo change so small it's not worth the bother?

**cadzilla74** · 08-07-2005, 10:26 AM

tonyt, did you get the 109W or 109V version?

**tonyt** · 08-07-2005, 10:28 AM

109V...both are excellent hyped to be excellent tires...I love them! Can't wait for it to rain and stuff to see how they handle!

**cadzilla74** · 08-07-2005, 10:43 AM

tonyt - Cool, thanks for the reply. Had Toyos put on my old Honda Accord and they were very good quality IMHO. Nice to see more alternatives in our size showing up and $105 apiece ain't too shabby either.

I was going to go with the BFG's but the N/A on the snow rating was keeping me from them...

**zonian** · 08-10-2005, 01:15 AM

I have a 7:30 am appt to get my toyo proxes s/t 255-50-18's installed....Hopefully I will take pics and post by tomorrow pm...

Wear seems to be okay, although I will double check w/ the rotation in about 2k more miles. Ride is better than the 17" rim (w/ Eiback kit), as I am not bottoming out as easily.

I plan on getting the 'flash' to a 245/55/20 in the StarScan, as it is the closest diameter to the 255/55/18. Since I have a SXT, the 18" rim is a big difference.

Not sure if/how the brakes are going to be effected, so far all seems okay.

Matt,

I haven't driven them in the snow (yet, just got them yesterday) but as you stated they are all season and mud & snow rated:
