Can someone tell me if the H-spoke wheels from a Gen IV will fit on a Gen II RT/10?
Is the offset the same front and back?

Before you get flamed for not searching, since there are a ton of threads on this topic, yes, every viper wheel is backwards compatible. Some are forward compatible, but I'm not sure if the old 17's would fit over the newer brakes. I have SRT 10 spokes on my Gen 1.

Thanks for the reply. I searched H-spoke wheels and got a bunch of hits for "wheels" . Then tried just H-spokes and couldn't find a clear answer to the offset question.
I appreciate the direct answer.

Anyone have a photo of a RT10 with H-spoke wheels they can post? A yellow one would be a bonus.

i am not claiming to know anything about tires, but i do remember reading the "ultimate wheel thread" and I inquired about the SRT wheel fitting on my GTS, and if i remember correctly I was told there would be a problem because of my brakes.... if true, you might have the same problem with the H-spokes.

I think the earlier cars look great with any of the newer wheels. -Almost makes me want to get a genII to put my old ten spokes on.

Yes thats perfect. Thank you very much. Since the tire size on the rear is 1.3" dia taller than the OE tires did you change the diff gears to 3.33 or did you just let the engine rev even slower at highway speeds?
Also did that model always have side exhaust?

I just left it alone no diff gear change as you can't really notice any difference, this model year does not come with side exhaust I added it.

I know it's an older thread, ^ but those wheels look great.

Anyways I know they will fit just fine. But, the ONLY thing I have ever heard/been cautioned about is adding heavy wheels (like newer SRT wheels/ H-spokes) to an older platform that was designed for the much lighter 17in size. Car suspension is an area I have only dabbled in slightly, so does anyone know if there are legit fears behind this?
