New to this forum. As the title says can I fit 26's on my gc srt8? If so what size tires? Also were could I find some 26's for the srt8? Thanks

yeah if you're a ****ing douche.

Why cause I want to be diffrent. Your a douche if your following everyone else. Being diffrent.

they would look silly.......

People are putting 26's on 300c's. So I figured it would look alot better on a gc srt8.

I understand the whole big rim thing, i had 24's on a lowered tahoe and always wanted 26's on it. But this isn't that kind of a truck. People are putting 26's on 300c's, not 300 SRT8's. Not every vehicle looks best with over sized wheels. You put 26's on you GC SRT8, not only will you make it look like sh*t but you would turn your gorgeous ride into a douchemobile and it would lose quite a bit on the performance side of things. I don't mean to be too much of a d*ck but if someone put 26's on a GC SRT8 i think i would be almost offended. Keep it real, anything bigger than some nice clean and conservative 22's is just going to kill the aggressive look of the gcsrt8.

imo !

26's would absolutely ruin everything on this truck - speed, looks, ride etc..... but to each his own I suppose

yeah if you're a ****ing douche.


+1, only a ****ing douche would do that.

this isn't a "pimp my ride" type of suv..

So everyone saying no 26's. Then what about 24's. The only reason why I buy the gc srt8 is to put big wheels on it then put the srt600 turbo kit on it. Then still be faster then most cars. For speed I have my 07 rs4 and my 05 rsx-s with 736 whp. So not looking for a very fast srt8 just figured the extra power would help with the big wheels. So might not buy 26's will see. Want more people to tell me what they think.

I say 22's max, but what do I know? What turbo kit are you looking to get??

stick with the 22's man..24's are just to big and dont look right on the srt

First and foremost, forget what everyone else likes. Do what suits your tastes and makes you happy.

With that being said, IMHO 22-inch wheels are the correct fitment for the size and look of the GC. It will still have and aggressive undertone without being too much on the BLING side of things. Almost forgot, the weight of a 24 or 26-inch wheels would probably hurt your performance a little. Good luck.

While starting to think 22's but I need to see how they look. Anyone have pics? Really want to fill up the wells.

For the turbo kit thinking the hennessey kit.

The 22's look small. Like that red gc with 24's from the game.

For the turbo kit thinking the hennessey kit.


Also a bad idea.

Then what turbo kit? I know this is about the wheels I'm going to chose but it seems you know what your talking about.

I ordered a 2008 GC SRT8 a last week and am pretty much a noob. However, I have spent countless hours over the last week searching this forum and other internet places for information. As far as I can see, the ASM Supercharger is the best bet. I guess Hennessey could be an option, but after reading some of his posts on other forums and seeing how he represents his company I wouldn't feel comfortable putting any of my honest dollars in his pockets. I plan to mod my new SRT8 as I have a sickness, but I want to have a plan of action set so I do things correctly and don't waste time or money. So far I plan to do Corsa Exhaust first, then move on to forced induction which will probably be a ASM Supercharger. After that, I'll probably upgrade various parts to match the ability of the rest of the trucks functions to the new power output.

Your best bet is to just take a few hours to search here and form your own opinions on what will suit you best. There is an overwhelming amount of info here and many forum members that also have a wealth of knowledge.

Thanks for the help. Going to look into the asm supercharger.

OK. Back to the 26's. Need to know what more people think about it cause they are like 10g's.

I doubt you will find any to fit our 5 bolt pattern....

I looked around found one set from dub but they only come in 10" wide. Could those fit? Plus I was thinking for tires 255/30-26 front and 305/25-26 rear but I can't find any. Does anyone know were to find those tires?

tried to post pic of rim wont work. So any opinions about 26" wheels?

Hennessey and 26s.

I don't even know where to start... :rolleyes:

I'll offer this, the SEARCH feature is your friend, provided you use it, you can save yourself loads of aggravation and $$$ if you take the results into consideration.

To each their own, but for the most part this is an enthusiast's board and as far as the wheels in particular are concerned expect some more money than brains observations.

As long as you're happy that what matters, but I for one wouldn't encourage someone to do something that I didn't agree was b!tchin', and when you ask for help or an opinion, you have to expect you're going to hear some stuff you don't want too...

FWIW,

Matty

you should have bought an Escalade. 26's no problem supercharger kits exist for them too. 26's don't belong on an suv this small. it will look retarded. But it is your money and it sounds like you don't mind throwing it away (SRT600 hennessey disaster) go for it. You will have to have them custom made as you will never find the right offset, any quality wheel company will be able to make them. post some pics when they are done and plan on way more than 10k for custom made 26's. Will probably need a brake upgrade too to stop those ridiculous things.

On the bright side, you will be the owner of the World's First (and maybe only) Grand Cherokee SRT8 DONK!:eek:

26's would look sick. do it up.

just do it.. no sense posting on here, call up the company of rims you want, order them and get tires then post with pics... too many ppl post retarded threads that never go anywhere.. hopefully this isn't the same

the only way i think i would change these stock rims is if Mopar for some reason decided to release our stock wheel in 22's. to me i just don't feel like any other rim that i've seen so for does these things justice. With the exception of my brother's (tommy25000) 22" asantis, but those are asantis, 3 piece at that.

anxious to see them. Go for it.

I doubt you will find any to fit our 5 bolt pattern....

you would be amazed what asanti can do for good $$$$$$

I say do....I'm curious!

Do it...do it now...
I too want to be a pimp.
The roads where I live are so bad, I should downgrade to 15" wagonwheels. :)

Like what?

Hey guys, just curious how about the ram srt10 22's I wonder if we have the same bolt pattern as theirs?

Nope. If they were it would be much easier to get wheels. :(

Oh bummer I think they would look pretty decent dont you think??:)

I did find out that are bolt pattern is the same as the 94-99 suburban 1500 2wd and the 88-98 chevy/gmc silverado/Seirra 1500/2500 2wd plus a couple more.

I been searching for tires for the last hour. I found the falken ziez s/tz04 but they only come in 305/25-26. Thats what I'm going to get for the rear and there $900 each. I can't find 255/30-26 for the front. Can anyone help?

Also will 26x10 fit the all around? If so can I put 305/25-26 tires on the front and rear? I know they will fit in the rear. Really need the help.

I'd have to see them first. They look ok on the LX's. I do like the stock wheels, some other 5 spoke look ok IMO.

Still need help on tires and rim width. Someone help.

Like my last post will a 10" wide rim fit in the front?
And can I fit a 305mm tire in the front?
Also can a 15mm offset on a 10" wide rim work front and rear?

I understand that one of the current genre's of street customization is "big rims, low ride". Or in the case of a 95 caprice on 26's... big rims, jacked up and looking like total ass.

The SRT-8 is a purpose-built performance vehicle, its designed inside and out to handle, accelerate, and brake superior to the stnadard WJ platform its based on. It incorporates engine, chasis, suspension, transmission, differential, transfer case, and interior upgrades that work in unison.

If no one wants to admit it, fine, but the 300C has been unofficially "adopted" as an afro-centric icon of money, power, bling, 'what-have-u'. The charger is bringing up a close second in this strange category of urban endeavourism. I have 8, yes 8 300C's in my neighborhood on 22s, most of them base-model V6's with the additional "mod" of the Bentley Style Grill... and quite frankly, a white dude wouldn't be caught DEAD in one around here.

Here's where the line stops, Diamler Chrysler (recently bought out anyways) purchased the Jeep line several years ago and even though there is a lot of bleed-over in their platforms, specifically the LX chasis, the Jeep share very little in common with its DCX brethern, not only in style but in funtion. If you want to put a Jeep on 26's, I say go for it, but for god's sake get an 08 Limited Model in 2WD, thats what these luxury "SUV's" are designed for anyway, the standard suburban family that wants the look of recreationalism, the comfort of 1st class luxuary interior appointments, but in reality never takes the vehicle over an obstacle bigger than the speed bump at the local Savings&Loan.

In final, i'll say this.

THE 300c IS NOT A F#!%ING BENTLEY, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU THINK IT LOOKS LIKE ONE, OR HOW MUCH YOU WISH IT WAS ONE. THE JEEP IS NOT THE 300C'S COUSIN, AND YOU'RE NOT DIFFERENT FOR THINKING SO. THE SRT8 LINE IS DEVELOPED FOR DORKY GEARHEADS THAT WANT A NICHE PEROFRMANCE VEHICLE MADE OUT OF AN EVERYDAY CAR/TRUCK, LIKE ME :)

Only reason I bought the gc srt8 is for the 420 hp hemi. That's it. The extra power could turn the big wheels better. Also the exterior looks alot better then the other gc's. If I want to race with it I could just put the stock 20's back on. But when I buy a supercharger or turbo I will still be alot faster w/26's then the stock srt8 w/20's.

So looks and performance.

Hhhm...little confused here. Sounds a little like you are putting down the 8, yes 8, rides in your Afro-centric urban endeavorized neighborhood that a "white" dude wouldn't be caught dead riding in. However, you chose to live in this neighborhood, right?

And why "For Gods's Sake" should they get a Limited 2wd model? What the Hell do you care who does what to their ride no matter what it is? It's their bling, money whaterver. Different strokes for different folks....to me plain and simple.

Just a different take I suppose as to what group, or individual for that matter, does whatever to their rides. Kind of sounds like the same philosophy of some who think every BMW driver is a yuppie. NOT.

Not flaming you here, can see your rides in your sig., and I ride an H-D, and second car is an M3.....and I mod em to my tastes, and could care less what my neighbor chooses to do to their rides. Like I said, just a little confused by your post.

Well said Teda.

Navy, while your opinion is valued, it wasn't asked for in this thread. If the title of the thread was SHOULD I put 26s on my Jeep, then your rant would be justified. But that's not the case here. Like 26s, or 15s-- that's not the question here. Personally, I think 26s are too big for this size of an SUV, but at the same time, I'd love to see someone shoehorn them under there.


Also..... to the OP, 10MM is going to give you a real steep challenge as an offset. For example, mine are 37 up front and 52 in the rear.

Also well said teda.
Seems that "white" people can't have big rims. Bullsh*t! I see soccer mom's with 22's on there tahoes all the time. I live in Ct and I use to drive throught "the hood" when I had 22's on my 99 cherokee sport before I went trail with it.


Ge2 What size rim width you have? Also I said the offset of the rims I'm thinking of get are 15mm. Also what size tires are you running? Plus this might sound stupid but what does shoehorn mean?

Can anyone tell me if a 10" wide rim will fit in the front? Plus if a 305mm tire will fit in the front? ANYONE? Last step until I order rims.

Can anyone tell me if a 10" wide rim will fit in the front? Plus if a 305mm tire will fit in the front? ANYONE? Last step until I order rims.
I remember reading on this forum or on the "other" one that one of the members took their jeep in for routine service and the dumb-a$$ tech rotated the tires, not realizing that they were different sizes front/back. When the owner left the dealership for his trip home, he noticed something didn't seem right, especially when turning. The rear tires did have clearance issues when they were mounted on the front. I guess that's the reason they don't have 10 inch rims on the front.

Can anyone tell me if a 10" wide rim will fit in the front? Plus if a 305mm tire will fit in the front? ANYONE? Last step until I order rims. :eek: Please make sure you have well researched the offsets.
I don't think a 15mm will work very well. For the custom drag wheels I just mounted on the rear, my 52mm offset is sure in the ballpark with the 305's.

I'm again with Teda....who cares about your mods, if YOU like them GO AHEAD (just order the correct offset wheels, most are custom made and not returnable).
Bill

I like big wheels. The bigger the better... 4" body lift with 28's ... drool!

Whats the ideal offset? What is stock? So can I fit 305 w/10"wide in front? I have to find a way cause 26's only come in a 10" width. Plus the narrowest tire I can find is 305. Whats the max min. offset you can put on the front w/o hitting when turning? Really want to order wheels this week, so I can post the pics.

I remember being you about 6 months ago on this site, but i was going for 24" rims. It took me weeks to even find pics of any srt8 with 24's. I posted those pics of the games jeep.So IMO I have never liked the way jeeps always had so much wheel well showing, and made it very hard to fill it with rim and be driveable. So go for it , and be ready for a go cart type drive. Post pics please:D

My fronts are 22 x 9.5 and my rears are 22 x 10.5. I don't know if 10s would fit up front or not.

The thought of putting 26's on our Jeeps scares me. I think if that was done it would become a show vehicle verses a daily driver. Maybe I am wrong, but that's my thought on this matter.

What profile are you running??? 30?

265/35 up front and 295/30 in the rear.

265/35 up front and 295/30 in the rear.

How's the ride quality as compared to the stock 45 and 40 profile??

I'd imagine that 26's would run with a 25 series profile and the ride would be ****.

Thats what I plan on running. 305/25-26. So the tire profile is 3". I use to run my rsx with a profile of 2.7" (225/30-20). Ride was not that bad. Wondering how the ride will be with 25 series sidewall too on a gc. Think it should be ok but my car is also around 1,700 ibs. lighter if not more.

ge2 thanks for your wheel info. It helped.

Now thinking of using a +30 offset front and rear. Then have the front and rear wells extended about 20mm. And still have it look stock. I think that will fit the 305 tire in the front. Plus I will have around a 4" lip on all the rims. Going to talk to my body guy tomorrow.

The ride with my toyos is far better than the stock runflats. The stockers are nice tires, but the ride isn't great IMO.

Good point. I plan to ditch the runflats asap. Just debating if I want to get rims/tires or just tires.

Can anyone tell me what size tires are on that black jeep on WKjeeps.com? I think there 295/35-24. Am I right. I zoom up on the pic But I still can't read it that well. Only reason I ask is because my 26"s are going to be 32" high and that black jeep I think has the same height tire but in 24's. So that will tell me if I'm going to hit anything. Plus I think I will be able to lower my gc about 1.5" if it's the same.

What does that mean?

I just wanted to share my opinion on this one.....I am by no means trying to go the "afro-centric blah blah blah" route on you. I think that the jeep would look so increadibly horrific with 26's on it. I think it would ride like crap, be way slower, rub suspension components, make braking a dangerous event and again, look goofy as hell.

again I am not being a hater, or trying to be mean spirited, I just think it will cost you a crapload of money to get it to even fit and allow you to roll down the street. Not to mention changing the brakes every other month. Then if it is too much for the jeep to handle. I have done the big wheel thing before, but IMO this will look just plain Goofy.

If you do go ahead with it, I want to see it. But I have been tossing it around in my head for a while, and it doent look very good.


Oh, and my skin is the same color as the guy in my drawing, minus the green tint!!!!HAHAHA!!

More important then this rim talk is how he got 738hp out of a rsx-s. I gotta see a dyno sheet and a list of mods on that. Seem like you couldn't even drive it. Evo's with that much power can hardly launch, much less a fwd car. Oh and 26" are just too big. 24" can pull off that big baller look and still keep some class, but 22" look the best.

THE RSX-S I got 736 whp with a full race stage 4 turbo kt. Turbo is a t67ho. Full 3" exhaust,50mm bov,44mm wg, special turbo cams(top secret to getting my power), hondata, and so on. Car is at 30 psi boost. Car is crazy on the street so I put on 285mm front tires to have more grip but still spins the tires until 3rd gear sometimes 4th gear. On the street now I lower the boost to 19psi. At 19psi still makes 597 whp. Also thats on a 2.0L. Going for 800+ whp over the winter w/ a 2.7 L stroker, bigger turbo @ around 34 psi but first I have to buy a stronger tranny cause at 700 whp I have blow up 3 trannys so far and going to be 4 in about a month. I will post dyno sheet if I can scan it. Plus go on you tube and look at rsx turbo. You will see.

BACK TO THE 26's ON A GC SRT8.

Talked to body guy today. He's going to widening the gc about 20mm all around. He also said that it will still look stock the way he's going to do it.

Also talked to E-forged today about the rims. The plan is 26x10 custom. Front will have a +27 offset and the rear will have a +32 offset. But it's going to take about 3-4 weeks to have done cause they are backed up. He's going to let me know this week if I can have it done faster ( if I pay more). The cost is $2,100 per rim. More if I have it done faster ( if I can).

So I have about a week to decide if I want 24's or 26's.

Via the magic of PhotoChop®... "what would it look like?"
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c314/Z06M16A1/26Jeep.jpg
BTW: I have asked Jada Toys to make a "DUB City" version of our GC SRT8s (to go with their Magnums, Chargers & 300s) for more than a year. We NEED a cool toy car we can have on our desks!! E-mail them.

yeah if you're a ****ing douche.

LMAO, soo true . . . .

And putting insanely oversized gangbanger wheels on a vehicle isn't being 'different'

Driheat it looks good if you ask me. Going for it. I was going to ask someone to do photoshop but you already did it. Thanks. I'm not that good with photoshop yet. So can you do it with the E-forged EF9. If you can.

Plus the stock wheel in 26's look alot bigger cause theres no lip and the spokes go flush to the ouside of the rim. I bet with the rim I'm getting it does not look that big.

DRIHEAT,

Nice PhotoChop. Right on topic and puts things in "perspective".

srt8gcred,

I give you credit. You're staying focused on what you want to do, even though some of the responses (mine included ;) ) have been less than supportive or helpful.

Your RSX-S sounds flat out sick, congratulations. That's a no-sh!t crazy build, keep us posted.

The negativity we're all feeling one way or the other is mostly due in part to the majority of us here are enthusiasts, and love the SRT for what it is. You'd get similar responses if you asked about doing an 8-inch lift and installing 35 inch mudders too! I guess when an owner (or potential owner) strays from what we think a SRT should be, the bashing starts.

I said it before and I'll say it again, do what makes you happy, don't worry about what anyone here (again, myself included :D ) says, but if you ask for an opinion it might not be exactly what you want to hear.

Skin color/race/etc., etc., have absolutely nothing to do with it; I've been accused of "acting outside my race", (what ever the flying handshake that means) on more than one occasion. Fug 'em!

My sincere best luck to you,

Matty

I saw your donk jeep rollin around this weekend.

BTW: I have asked Jada Toys to make a "DUB City" version of our GC SRT8s (to go with their Magnums, Chargers & 300s) for more than a year. We NEED a cool toy car we can have on our desks!! E-mail them.


Nope....that is not how it will be...That looks lowered......

wait let me go and look at my jeep.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..................yep

there will be cutting involved to roll...you will have 3 extra inches above and below

And they will stick out....YUCK

but I would be slightly entertained to see it happen!

I guess I'm going to go out on a limb here and say 26" wheels look f-ing dumb on anything.

No there will be 1.5" extra in ground clearance and 1.5" extra into well.

No they won't stick out because I'm having the flares extended 20mm all around.

Sorry, quick & dirty...

didn't have correct perspective for EF-9, but gives you the general idea.

Driheat it looks better if you ask me. Thanks. I'm going to order the rims tomorrow. Just the wait is so long now 3-6 weeks.

That looks bad. Case closed!

Well, I thought it would be way worse than that...but that isn't saying much...

Personally I don't like it, but what ever floats yer boat, mang!

No there will be 1.5" extra in ground clearance and 1.5" extra into well.

Some people like to eat squash...I dont
some like cocaine and meth.....Sorry, not for me
some like blue colors....

some red.....

Whatever you feel is worth your money...is your choice....

But to spend that much money on something that I feel will look really bad....not for me....

You could spend the money on the interior....or stereo...or custom paint......But please dont let me talk you out of it!

That way I figure, you will spend at least $9000 on wheels, $8000 on a supercharger then plenty for the installation.....You have money to burn....

I dont. For what you are going to spend on wheels, I would have gotten a sportbike!


I just think that these Jeeps are in a whole different class than other cars....If I wanted a donk... I would do it to my grandmothers 76 Regal. Or I would have gotten a burban or something. This vehicle is so much more than that...And in my opinion you will be ruining this superb automotive masterpiece.

And remember this....You will truly have to be happy with it....Because there will be many SRT owners that will laugh at it....

IMO this is horrible....but please do, make me eat my words.

I sure as hell wish I had your kind of money......What do you do....I need a career change!!!

Dub magazine has a show Jeep GC SRT8 which they had at SEMA. This vehicle has been lowered and has 24" wheels. If you look closely the front wheels will barely be able to turn fully.
Also with the rubber band wheels you might just as well ride on the rims.
My suggestion is save your money. Some here on this site have gone to 22" rims but I am sure the ride quality has suffered. I changed to non run flat tires to get a better ride.

Why not go for this look . . . .

2016

^^ thats awesome. Three stars at that, sweet.

Anything in the 26 inch range is considered a "field tractor" in these parts. But WTH, maybe you have some crops to prepare. Super Bling is OK. It's your truck. Go for it.

What is that? I think that is the worst thing I've ever seen. I don't like those old cars with like a 4" lift and wheels that don't fit into the wells. My srt gc is going to look nothing like that! Only if I bought 30's but I would never do that.

Just bought the E-forged EF-9. 26x10. +27 offset front and +32 offset rear. I have until the end of the week to change the offset if I want. I will be getting them in 2-4 weeks s*cks. Depends how fast they finish other customers wheels in front of me.

So can people start posting there aftermarket wheel offsets plus rim width so I can find the max offset for the front. Or do you think I should start a new thread? Thanks

Start a new thread for it.

Your wheels are going to look anything like that? Really? Did you even look at the math?

The stock overall rim and tire diameter is roughly 29". In order to stay with the same overall wheel & tire diameter, your sidewalls on the new tires must be no larger than 1.5" or 38mm. From what I gather, you're going with a 305/25_26. The sidewalls on this tire are going to be 3" or 76mm which is nearly double what you need. The overall diameter of the wheel and tire you are looking at is roughly 32", or 3" taller than stock. That is going to look like crap. If you want to stay with the 305 width & keep near the stock diameter, you will need a tire somewhere between a 305/10_26 & 305/15_26. Unfortunately, no one makes those sizes......

New to this forum. As the title says can I fit 26's on my gc srt8? If so what size tires? Also were could I find some 26's for the srt8? Thanks

It is one thing to personalize a car. It is another to bastardize it.

If i see another tasteless rapper car I am going to puke.

Putting huge ghetto rims on a JEEP? A JEEP!!!!! Putting them on a hummer is already bad enough, but at least the H2 is not a real Hummer. I thought the jeep brand was safe. But now jeeps are being ghettofied. For the love of God do not put 26" on the side.

I wonder what ever came of this idea - any pic's of the 26's yet?

LEAVE THE STOCK WHEELS ON YOUR SRT8! PERIOD............:cool:

Dood, this link needs a work warning. Thanks a lot.

They should give you a test before letting you purchase an SRT8. If you're going to do any of this "baller" crap they should not let you purchase one.

Friggen terrible man, almost embarassing what they did to those SUVs in that link.

28"s or bust!












:rolleyes:

i say 26's are to big go for 24's its still different and looks lick saw it on another site.http://www.koenigseder.at/index.php?id=486&L=1&tx_posprjkoenigproducts_piproducts[item]=44

that thing looks stupid with that wing and all

Dumbbbbbbbbbbbb.

So everyone saying no 26's. Then what about 24's. The only reason why I buy the gc srt8 is to put big wheels on it then put the srt600 turbo kit on it. Then still be faster then most cars. For speed I have my 07 rs4 and my 05 rsx-s with 736 whp. So not looking for a very fast srt8 just figured the extra power would help with the big wheels. So might not buy 26's will see. Want more people to tell me what they think.

Just do whatever YOU like...

looking at the white car though... not lovin it.

Yup, it's your car so do whatever you want.

With that being said, anything bigger than 22's and it will look totally ghetto.
Ok, I take back the "it's yours do what u want" crap. Out of respect for yourself and all SRT8 owners in the world, don't do it! :twak:

i hope this guy never really put 26's on his ride. forget all that "its your money, do what you want" bullsh*t, its a disgrace to SRT owners everywhere. including me.

are you kidding me? I came from a slammed Denali on 24's but never in my right mind would put 26's on the SRT8 Jeep. Talk about a bending a rim ever week.....these truck ride very very firm.

I think this looks pretty good actually. Not my style, but may be what you're looking for. SRT8 airbagged, 24's,

not too bad , but unless you have some smooth roads where you are going to be driving you are going to go broke buying new rims and tires.
Those window visors sure are cheesy, I find the taste of the truck odd with the handicapped plates

is depend what you like . to show off 24 is kool and for race 20 for me

Man the rap culture has produced some tasteless vehicles! Ever heard of balance or symmetry?
26's on a grand cherokee is so ghetto i don't know how else to put it. Why don't you throw on the neon and do some chrome door handles and wipers. While you are at it, do some LED on the wiper nozzles...hmmmm fender flares, chameleon paint.... I think that about covers it. Then you will look real Cleeeeaaaan!!!!!

LMAO

I try to respect peoples opinions and wishes but someone has to take a stand against the ghettofying of vehicles. Get a regular GC and donk it. Oh yeah, don't forget the
"lambo" doors.

You are gonna have one tight whip


LOL....I just noticed the chrome door handles on that GC ^

Don't take it personally

You know guys... There are a lot of people out there who see your stock SRT8 and assume that you've taken a normal GC and slapped on 20s and an obnoxious bodykit. I'm not a fan of all this stuff but, to each his own, I always say.

and then you punch it and they dont know what just hit them

yeah i was just thinking that lol.

mm that bagged one looks sick.. me likey

I like tha bagged one also. Would that screw anything up in the drivetrain?

I find the taste of the truck odd with the handicapped plates

that was the first thing i noticed....lol

so did you put them on yet? if you do im sure you have to drop them.

I think you should get 30" rims like this caddy. That would be sweet....not.

http://99rides.com/videos/Bling_Bling_Rides/Donk_on_30_inch_rims

THE 300c IS NOT A F#!%ING BENTLEY, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU THINK IT LOOKS LIKE ONE, OR HOW MUCH YOU WISH IT WAS ONE. THE JEEP IS NOT THE 300C'S COUSIN, AND YOU'RE NOT DIFFERENT FOR THINKING SO. THE SRT8 LINE IS DEVELOPED FOR DORKY GEARHEADS THAT WANT A NICHE PEROFRMANCE VEHICLE MADE OUT OF AN EVERYDAY CAR/TRUCK, LIKE ME :)[/QUOTE]

I was waiting for that... thank you.. :)

Go for 24s and bagged... you will achieve your look without the headaches. I just think 26s are a stretch on the jeep for fitment and size. The 24 inch rim is HUGE and yet fits flawlessly... but its your car not mine :)

anything over 22" is way to much bling for me. it would just look goofy

mm that bagged one looks sick.. me likey

That bagged one is not an SRT. Look at the steering wheel. Most likely a Laredo or Limited with SRT body moldings.

Man, these gc8 people are an interesting lot. On one hand they will talk about respecting others and their choices on rides, but will finish the SAME statement disrespecting people and the choices they are making. Has it crossed your mind that most think a 420hp/$40K+ jeep is stupid/unnecessary/impractical??

And what the fk is 'ghettofied'? None of you even know the meaning. Obvious, based on your use. B/c of rims?? C'mon! Are you 'surburbinized' b/c you bought your precious little jeep in the first place?! Offended? Try listening to some of this useless crap you are pushing. Expand the vocab and you can get past it. what would be the word you would use for 'montster truck/lift kits/mudders, etc'? probably 'COOL', right?

Hell isnt turbocharging/superchargering/stroking/nitro'ing anything over the top 'Bling'?! Dont some of you NUTJOBS have $10K-$20K wrapped up into your rigs?! 400,500,600HP? but you're going to give this guy a rough shot over rims/tires? Rap culture didnt start anything. People with $$ started all of this aftermarket stuff. They have been moddin stuff way before hip-hop and mTV blew it it up. get your facts right "HOMIE". Most people cant afford the crap that we put into our rigs, let alone make the car payments.

Like I said you gc8 folks are real interesting. Dont know... As much as Im into my truck, going WAY TOO FAST, and spending money I dont need to spend on a GREAT ride, it just got a little harder to say that Im like the rest of you.

With that said, I really dont think 26s work for this jeep, especially if you use it the way most of us do. 24s might, but I personally drive way too hard for any of them plus they are far from practical (hey, different words that convey new and inoffensive ideas about others choices, hmmm). But if you like it, Im interested in seeing it. post the pics. BE OUT DOG! F them. Lames are well lame!

ALL THIS SUBMITTED FROM A DIE F'ING HARD CAR GUY! (gearhead geek, whatever he said...)

BALD WONDER

I say do it, I wanna see what it will look like....haha

Haha I don't know how I have missed this thread for SO long!

nice 10th post baldmeister and passing judgment of this community. :rolleyes:

with the original question in mind....haha seriously? 26s? **** it go 30s!

Hell Yeah do some clear 30's like so u see on the donks and bubbles....

Haha I don't know how I have missed this thread for SO long!

NOT PASSING JUDGEMENT. SORRY FOR THAT. A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED, THOUGH. OUT OF ALL THE FORUMS IVE BEEN ON/READ TRU, LIKE THIS ONE THE BEST. BUT PEOPLE GOT GIVE EACH OTHER SPACE. HES GOT A WILD IDEA I AGREE, BUT ALL THAT OTHER STUFF IS JUST THAT...

JUST OBSERVING. AND BEEN READING THIS JOINT FOR LIKE 2YRS... SO NOW 11 POSTS. YA DIG?

I agree with everything Baldhead said, someone explain to me what ghettofied is and then tell me I guess you can use redneck if you own a truck jacked up like a dump truck with a gun rack in the window::confused: nobody on this forum is the expert on every members SRT/8 each one of us has they're on style and way of mods, performance and looks so let's not make this a thing about race. I for one always have and always will make my on decisions on my rides, why because I pay the NOTES!:D

Oh boy. Where do i start?

Has it crossed your mind that most think a 420hp/$40K+ jeep is stupid/unnecessary/impractical??

Disrespecting somone and giving somone their opinion is totally different.
If it's straight up disrespectful, then i agree. People will have opinions and they will certianly vary, even if you or i don't agree with them.
As far as your last sentence saying its stupid (which i don't agree), wouldn't that go hand in hand with the disrepectful thing?
Unnecessary? Maybe for some, but aren't ALOT of things in life when you get right down to it?
Impractical? Actually, its really practical, for me. I can afford the payments, its got AWD for winters, can haul the kids around with plenty of room, looks cool, goes fast, handles like a mutha, MPG isn't the best but i didn't buy it for that.

And what the fk is 'ghettofied'? None of you even know the meaning. Obvious, based on your use. B/c of rims?? C'mon! Are you 'surburbinized' b/c you bought your precious little jeep in the first place?! Offended? Try listening to some of this useless crap you are pushing. Expand the vocab and you can get past it. what would be the word you would use for 'montster truck/lift kits/mudders, etc'? probably 'COOL', right?

How do you know "everyone" doesn't know the meaning? The suburbinized comment is a blanket statement in which it actually sounds like you are the one generalizing. You also say that "we" are pushing useless crap.....umm what exactly are we "pushing"? As far as monster truck looks go, i wouldn't call it cool. I'd call it red neckish. But that just my opinion.

Hell isnt turbocharging/superchargering/stroking/nitro'ing anything over the top 'Bling'?!

Most people cant afford the crap that we put into our rigs, let alone make the car payments.

FYI, Bling is flashiness. Turbos, N2o, and supercharging is performance. Nuff said. The guy got a rough shot cause he wanted to put wheels on the truck that would look silly, but thats their opinion. Rap culture didn't start anything?
Maybe not, but it sure helped glorify it all and take it to a whole new level.
Most people can't afford all the "crap" we put into our rigs let alone make the payments??? Thats your opinion, a very narrowminded one but its yours.

Gotcha Bald. Its tough to convey somethings thru a computer:)

What I don't understand is why we can't have a pleasant discussion with out ridicule. Seems like we have to behave like a bunch of junior high school children, and we don't like having to deal with their problems as I have seen this week. The mothers that work for me have been having some of the same issues this week. Only this is grown men with the put downs instead of giving any real reasons for their opinions. If you don't agree with an idea state why and behave like grown men not children. I am also sure this will get some of the same off color comments.
As for 26" wheels our tires are only 29 which only leaves for 1 1/2" rubber even a pot hole could break a wheel. Go larger diameter and you will lose performance. If either of these are exceptable for you, not me or anyone else then go for it. I for one would like to see how it comes out.

I see you mentioned you were planning on adding a turbo following your 26s. How often do you see high performance suvs with 26s on it?

Um. Hello. The thread starter hasn't been around for five months--time to put this thread out of its misery

lets see the 26's

26s are weak, 40s is where its at. http://youtube.com/watch?v=F_VImPZTI7I

IMO...that's gay like all other donks out there! This thread should be buried!

Words cannot express how retarded that is. At least you don't need a jack to work on your car, though.

Whachu know bahdeh Donkey Kong. I need to get me one of these. HAHA. So damn funny. Why cant they use a decent video camera. I'd like to see how they came up with the tires....

EDIT- The ****ing tires are lik rubber bands....no lie. They have to be solid rubber tires. I just noticed these are located in San Antonio...

I've seen it all now!
That is THE most retarded thing ever! (No, really.)
I just order a set in black.:D

Anyone ever see the rims with LED's that you can put pictures on?
Ah HA HA HA!

All that damn Cutlass on 40's did was back up a few feet then drive forward a few feet. I bet that POS doesn't even run. GAAAAAAAAY!

26inch rims and a turbo, Sounds dangerous to me. Sh** 26's on the SRT alone is dangerous, the car would handle like crap, That Size rim is not made for SRT8 kinds of speed. IMO. But what ever makes you happy. Its Your SRT8.

Hahaha, you guys fell for it!!!!! ROR!!

i agree-putting anything over 22's would ruin the truck-this is a performance vehicle. Throw 26's on an Escalade or Yukon. Sell your SRT8 to someone who appreciates it if you are gonna do something like that!!!
