SPECIAL THANX TO WOODHOUSE DODGE & BILL PEMBERTON!!
Our newest toy was pulled off the trailer last night at 10pm, wheels went on at 11pm, here's a pic of it this morning after we got it cleaned up.
Tell me what you think.
PS. Anyone looking, I have a set of RT Magnum wheels & tires with less than 50 miles on them in mint condition.

You have to be an SRT Forum member to see that image....

thanx man, it was coming through fine on our end

[BlackMagnum]

So tell us about your wheels. Many of us don't know what options we have for aftermarket wheels. What were your options? How much?

Just saw this over on the SRT forum. Congrats. Wish mine was here. I went to the dealer & had them add the heated seats to the order. Well, they canceled my original ORDER & entered a new one to reflect the change. I am pissed. If I had known that is what they had to do, I would not have made the change.

we work for a wheel & tire shop so we got a good deal on them
they are 22"X10" Limited 665 15et offset with Pirelli 265/35/22 Assymetrico
the fit could not have been any better or any worse, they are perfectly flush front & rear with the fender flares, the tie rod end bolt is a hair FROM touching the tire but does not touch and you can't get your finger in between the back of the wheel/tire and the control arm but nothing touches when you turn the wheel or when you go over bumps, in essence, they fit like a glove but barely

I keep hearing about this tie-rod issue. Seems odd they would position it so close to the wheel?

[needasrt4]

you just gotta be careful about what your doing, we had to ORDER the wheels without HAVING the car in hand yet and just took the best guess we could and we got extremely lucky.
Stock tire is 8.85" wide and 28.6" tall
We went 10.43" wide and 29.3" tall, this I believe is the absolute max you can go without heavy modifications.

Now I'm wondering if my wheels are going to fit. I went the 20" route with 275/40/20. This tire size was almost an identical match(28.6 stock, 28.7 with the 20's) but width wise is where my concern is. Lets see...you went 265's on 10" wide..I went 275's on 9" wide....what do you think? Or wait..was it 9.5"..damn I forget now but I'm pretty sure its 9.5". Working in a wheel shop whats your opinion?

[needasrt4]

its also gonna depend on your offset, as long as you are willing to use a spacer to bring it away FROM the control to keep FROM scrubbing your fine, we do it all the time and thought we were going to have to last night but its extremely close.

nice car and wheels needasrt4, I know that you will want to lower it when springs or kits are available. Do you think the 265 width tires will fit on a lowered car? I think that those using 265 and trying to use 275 tires up front will have to revert to maybe a 245 width when the car is lowered. Very few cars can go FROM a 225 OEM size to 265 and 275 without serious mods.

[needasrt4]

It sits perfect where it is right now, there is a 2 finger width fender gap between tire and fender on both front and rear and it does not sit any higher up off the ground than stock height so we are very happy with the results. If we do lower it, it will be bagged but we will have to go with a differnet setup in ORDER for the wheels to tuck for a clean drop.

bag it!!! that would look awesome>

The only reason I'm trying to go to the 275/40/20 is because of its match in size to stock. They don't make a 245/45/20 which would also be a near perfect match and going with the 245/40 is almost a 3/4" smaller diameter. I wasn't going with that size because I thought it needed the width.
