Any pictures of an SRT with 18 inch wheels?

[KaiPL]

I'm thinking of making a change to 18 inch wheels on my SRT-10, as I'm looking at putting some sticky Kumhos on the car.
Anyone out there done it who can post some pictures? I saw Skip's 18s with the thick drag radials. I would particularly like a picture of a car with road racing tires so I can see how a lower profile tire on an 18 inch rim would look on a SRT-10.

Another question:

Once you alter the e-brake to fit 18 inch wheels, can you run the standard 19 inch rims with the altered e-brakes?

Kai, the problem with any of the 18's out there is they actually end up one full inch smaller in overall tire diameter. The oem tire is only around 27.2 inches tall as it is and the the only drag radial out there is around 26.2 inch. unless of course you go with those big Nitto 555's then you actually go up to 28.2 inch. The sidewall doe's get a bit tall, and you will have to lower the car, to get it to look right. This setup does look a bit radical, but it looks good in a way to. Best of all I can outrun any stock SRT out there with these in an eighth or quarter mile. They are very hard to spin.

The altered e-brake bracket, will allow you to run any 18, and I'm sure you can go back to 19's.

with these 345/30/18's (18x13rims)you dont need to play around with the susp. and you also gain by having a higher gear ratio b/c the tire is a bit smaller so its like having 337 gears when these bad boys are on.

still waiting for the fronts to come in 18x11's

Those SSR comp wheels look ten times better than the pics convey. You would have to see them in person on the SRT. They are very good quality, not to mention light and strong.

Do not run these rims with a runflat tire. They could easily bend. This is one of the reasons the oem wheel is so heavy. The runflat has such a rigid sidewall on the tire, there is no cushion for the rim when hitting potholes, etc.

I have already experianced this. Another good reason to do away with these tires. I went with a Goodyear Eagle F-1

D,s right about the tire he is running in that it will give a helping hand on gearing, and the BFG drag radials are the best money can buy. I just wish they made one a bit bigger.

Hey what's that laying on the center of my wheel

I want to see an SRT with 18" Gen II wheels kinda reversed from this pic:

You must be registered for see images

Make sure when you go to an 18" wheel on the SRT that you definately lower that bad boy!
