SRT8 Rims and tires for RT - 5/10/2008 4:28:11 PM    davwall   Posts: 21 Joined: 10/20/2007 Status: offline Hello from Mississauga Ontario! i have 2006 Magnum RT and want to put on the srt8 (charger or magnum) 20 inch rims/tires.  How much harsher will the ride be over the stock tires/rubber?  I have the 18 inch with Goodyear Assurance tires....not that great and rides rough.  hopefully there would not be too much difference in the ride. also if anyone has for sale let me know.  do i also need any spacers or will they bolt right on?  some sites in the us say none are needed. thanks for the input!

Tony, I really like the Tire/Wheel set-up that you have. I see on one of your other posts that your rims are 20x8.5 with a 20mm offset. What size tires are you running? I am considering a staggerd set. maybe 275 in the rear and 245 or 255 in the front. Thanks, Terry (in reply to 65standard) Post #: 5

I think they were around $85 if I remember right . (in reply to davwall) Post #: 8
