These wheels have a 40mm offset which is close to perfect and with 225/45R17 tires should fit. The speedometer ought to be real close to stock also with these size tires at 832 revs per mile. From what I have read on here you can go up to a 235 tire but I'd rather be safe then sorry. Just my opinion. Let me know how it works. I'm looking at some 17x7.5 wheels with a 40mm offset and the 225s also. You can be the guinea pig,,,,,lol. (in reply to 04_T_4) Post #: 2

RE: 17"x8" rims on a 2004 Srt-4 - 10/9/2006 9:38:54 AM    talisman Posts: 300 Status: offline I just put a set of 17x7.5 wheels with a 35mm offset on my car. I put 225/45/17 tires on it with the wheels. The handling difference is very noticeable. The car feels much more stable on the on and off ramps than it ever did before. I haven't tried any launches with the new tires yet but I can say they fit well and ride great. (in reply to Plan B) Post #: 4

I could only run a stock size tire w/o rubbing. I ended up w/a 17x7 w/35mm offset, 225/45/17's and lots of room. (in reply to Flash_Gordon2392) Post #: 8

I am running 245/45/17 RT-615.  I have rubbing issues when flying over back farm (paved) roads that are dippy in nature and the rub is usually not from the compression when I land but the when aire born. UPDATE:  My tire of choice now is Dunlop's new Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec.  I am running 235/40/17 @36 psi. Have had one auto cross so far.  Tires heat up to temp real quick.  No rubbing probelms as mentioned above. < Message edited by GoingPostal -- 5/15/2008 8:12:38 AM > (in reply to MiniHemi148) Post #: 9
