Whats up people. Im new to this forum, and am lovin it so far.. So was wondering if anyone knows what the largest wheels i can fit on the srt8 with out effecting my turn radius? I was told 22", but i know that used to be the case for the 300c , but now they have a type of tire that will let u use a 24" wheel. And does anyone have pics of there srt8 w/out the stock rims? :D looking foward to doing some mods in appearance to maybee the hood, grill, tail lights, and especially on the cheap plastic interior. Would love to see what peeps have done to theres..

THANX

24's fit but with a real small tire it almost doesnt look right though. They will fit with a 255/30-24 in the front i believe this is the set up dub had at there booth at sema.

That is correct.... 24s will fit. Heck, I think you could probably shoehorn a 26 in there with no functionality problems.
There are a few hoods available, but within the next 6 months I'd expect more options. Tail lamps..... check ebay. There are lots of euro-styles out there. Quite a few of us here have gone the tinted route with our tails. Fellow member ZenGarage sells tinted tails.
Interior stuff..... some of us have added bits of upholstery, dash kits, or paint/dye to the interior to change it up a bit.

23s will be tough. There are a growing group of regular off-the-shelf cast wheels that you can find to fit our application. Offset/backspacing are critical because of the brake setup. But any multi-piece wheel manufacturer worth anything will custom build you a wheel to your specs. However, 23s are a rare size, so you may have a harder time finding a manufacturer willing to one-off you a set of 23s. 22s and 24s are easy. If you're looking for a cast 24, like the DUB jeep, look at TIS and Dropstar wheels. They have a few off-the-shelf wheels that'll fit.

Im not sure about 24s with a nice tire will fit though I am talking to wtwcorp about putting some gfg's with the pirelli 285-35-24 to see if they will fit up in front. In the back i really don't see any problems though.

WTW will totally customize a wheel for you. They are GREAT to deal with and will make whatever you want fit. The coolest part about dealing with WTW is that Diko himself will get involved with any custom order. Can't wait to see pics.

yea, thats not an srt8. So 24" will fit as well. that looks pretty tall, i wonder if it will look better on the srt8 since its lower to the ground.there is a srt8 on this page, but not a great pic. http://www.dubmagazine.com/dubshow/ . what size are those, hard too tell.

Member RM360 (here at this site) had some Gio's done to spec for his SRT SEMA vehicle. They look great.
