I did a search and no luck...is everyone on here that uses winter tires putting those on 20" wheels?
Is anyone using 19" wheels and snow tires? If so, is there an issue with brake clearance?
Tire Rack has a 19" winter package for the SRT8 and they have done me right in the past, but I just wanted feedback from the forum...
I'm in CO and winter is coming...
Thanks.

I was looking at the same setup and wondered about brake clearance and speedo calibration.
Anyone look into these?

I run the stockers through the mess of New England winter last year was no problem. Jeep did much better then I ever thought possible.

you could get a cheap set of 17" OEM laredo/limited/overland wheels and run them in the winter. Thats what I'm doing......
^^ with out giant spacers they will never clear the Brembo's.

I looked up the tire package at the Tire Rack. 19" ASA JH8 wheels. I would consider getting this package. Anyone have them installed? It would be great to see some pics of them installed. Info anyone?

^^^ I agree, I was looking at this package as well. Someone should call Tirerack to see if they will fit.

Great news! I just got off the phone with Adrian at the Tire Rack, and he told me that these wheels fit on the GC SRT8 as is. The tire pressure sensors installed on the ASA JH8 is the OEM used by Jeep.

I live in the province of Quebec, Canada and the delivery time was approx. 7 to 10 working days. They had some in stock but didn't ask how many.

Just ordered my wheels and tire package from the Tire Rack. 19"*8.5" ASA JH8 with the Pirelli Scorpion snow and ice. Can't wait to see the difference in handling. Will send some pics when I recieve them although I will only install them on my beast when the snow starts falling. :D
