    22"

    is there anyone out there with 22" on their magnum, has your turning radius decreased, and has your gas mileage significantly decreased?
    I travel 150 miles from my duty station to S.A., TX.

    I love the big wheels and understand that i might lose some gas mileage, just getting your views on that.

    I have 22'x9 F and 22'10 R on my MSRT8, I don't drive much so for me is ok,some wheels are a lot heavier then the factory ones,I don't feel the different on mine and the car runs great,I know SRT8 cars are a bit stronger, take you time looking for the right wheels and the right price and also for the wheels that you really like and want badly

    Pictures here.




    All the best trying to find the wheels,take care and we talk soon.

    I had 22's on my 3.5 for about a year. It will increase gas mileage. The wheels are heavier thus putting more stress on your engine to turn them. Also, braking will be affected as well and you will need to replace the pads and rotors more often. And the rims will definitly slow down your car substantially. I got rid of them and switched back to the R/T rims. But I still miss my 22's. I mostly sold them cuz I needed the money since I'm getting married.

    Gas milage decreased for me a little and I can feel the ride is a little rougher than before, but giving up all that side wall of a tire to absorb road bumps will make a difference!
