Hey All,
I'm new to the forum. Im planning on getting an07 srt8 in the very near future (week) and am wondering about aftermarket wheel fitment because of the big calipers. Will wheels that fit an 07 overland fit on the srt
(talking 22"s by the way) what is the necessary offset for these wheels to fit on and what would be the appropriate tire size with 22"s. As you may be able to tell im not very mechanically inclined and need some help with these issuse. I currently have a 2004 Columbia Edition GC with the 4.7L H.O and am looking foward to the SRT!!!
Any help you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there and welcome aboard!
Are you wanting to go with a one-piece wheel or multi-piece?
With a one piece cast wheel, your options are fairly limited. There are some out there-- check TIS, DropStars, Asanti-- but not a ton. If you are looking for a multi-piece wheel, the sky is the limit. Find one you like and any decent multi-piece wheel manufacturer will build to spec for you.

You can fudge with the offset a touch. Mine are 22 x 9.5 in the front and 22 x 10.5 in the rear. 27mm offset in the front and 52mm in the rear.

Given that these vehicles have been on the roads for a year now, most wheel companies can find the proper specs. It was a bit trickier when I had mine made-- they actually sent someone to measure some things on my car.


Also, this guy does a lot of replica wheels, and plus sized stock-look wheels. I am not vouching for his work, as I've not seen it at all, but it's another option.

Typically no-- wheel that will fit a regular GC will not fit due to the brake setup.

As for tire choice... that's all up to you. Just BE SURE THAT YOUR OVERALL DIAMETER IS WITHIN .25 INCHES IN THE FRONT AND THE REAR!!!!!!

I am running 265/35 and 295/30.
