About LinkBacksMy cousin is mocking up my old magnum RT 18"s over a set of SRT8 brakes. Based on this information, will he need a spacer to do so? If so what size?
Thanks peeps!

As I understand it, the RT wheels will not fit onto a SRT, because the calipers are too big??????????????

- dan, Robby's cousinwell, I've seen 18's over srt-8 brakes, but they had to do some careful wheel shopping. But I remember seeing that someone managed to fit R/T 18's on them, however, with a spacer. I was just wondering if someone knew how thick it had to be.Last edited by robbyho; 02-05-2008 at 07:03 PM.

I don't think I'd want to drive a car with that big of a spacer. Your wheel might be passing you on the freeway!

The rears should fit, but the fronts won't clear. You can use the OEM 18" wheels for drag radials (they're heavy though).

The only 18's I've ever heard of that fit are the Borbet's a lot of guys are using as drag radials and track wheels.
