: My white GC laredo with srt8 body kit..almost finished.

Well I took a page out of scottina's book and converted my laredo into a srt-laredo. Its not a full conversion because I wanted to add a few different things. The rims aren't stock obviously and the exhaust tip is different. I still need to get some grill mesh..im probably gunna go for polished aluminum for the chrome look. I probably just want to buy some from customcargrills and cut them to the right size so its cheaper. I will need to ask around how to go about this. I might get it lowered later, I want to maybe see about getting BMW style side markers on the fenders just to do something different. Im getting the side windows tinted as well. among other little things. Interior I haven't touched yet ;)

Sorry for the bad pics its raining and I would prefer to have some more dynamic shots.

Enjoy

Looks good where did you get the bumpers from? You need to tint the front windows. Later

this is a good bit of info....even for the srt guys too.....Uniquecustoms on ebay sells both bumpers for around $800 SHIPPED and Painted to match.

Looks very nice Twin!

Looks good. SRT8 should come in white.

What size tires?

Before and after shots from the same "head-on angle"?

The tires are 20" they are something like 275/45/20 I think.

Here are some more before shots but not really from the same angle.

Thanks.

Those sidewalls look taller than 45s to me. You said "I think", about the size, so when you get a chance please double check just because I'm wanting to gauge clearance.

Yep I double checked they are 45.

sidewall height is a ratio.......a 255-45-20 tire is going to have a different height than a 275-45-20 or a 225-45-20 and so on.

For some reason I have been thinking that while what you say is true for total Outer Diameter it is not true for sidewall height. But then again sidewall height is going to have an effect on OD and vice versa so maybe it's just all the alcohol I drank last night talking. Been a while since I gave a crap about aspect ratios and whatnot.

Definitely the alcohol talking. I think I could still use some sobering up. I'll come around though. :rolleyes:

Sidewall Aspect Ratio
Typically following the three digits identifying the tire's Section Width in millimeters is a two-digit number that identifies the tire's profile or aspect ratio.

P225/50R16 91S

The 50 indicates that this tire size's sidewall height (from rim to tread) is 50% of its section width. The measurement is the tire's section height, and also referred to as the tire's series, profile or aspect ratio. The higher the number, the taller the sidewall; the lower the number, the lower the sidewall. We know that this tire size's section width is 225mm and that its section height is 50% of 225mm. By converting the 225mm to inches (225 / 25.4 = 8.86") and multiplying it by 50% (.50) we confirm that this tire size results in a tire section height of 4.43". If this tire were a P225/70R16 size, our calculation would confirm that the size would result in a section height of 6.20", approximately a 1.8-inch taller sidewall.

Its cool to see that everyone here likes white. Anyone have a picture of a white wk limited with srt wheels? I am thinking of putting them on my white limited '05 but I have yet to see what it would look like. Even a photoshop would be cool.

Also if you all like white so much, want to buy or trade for mine? I would rather have black. 2005 WK Limited, 27,000 miles, nav, dvd, tow, hemi, uconnect, chrome wheels (and standard wheels, whichever you want).

I'm actually surprised that with all the money being spent by our forum members...that I haven't seen more complete paint jobs.

For instance, I've seen a couple of threads about how much people love the white...but no one has painted theirs white. Why is this?

Palella, how much would it cost to paint a black srt8 to white??

i'm guessing the paint conversion would be somewhere in the ballpark of 3k retail..
